I thank you.

Well, I de-activated my firewall so I could install EB and I'm still getting a corrupt file message. (This is a mirror site, not torrent - I don't know how to torrent).

It sounds like your Installation of RTW is on your c: drive correct? The reason it is coming back corrupt is that EB will install into the RTW directory on your c: drive which is out of space. What you need to do is either uninstall RTW and install it on your d: drive or clean out your c: drive and make 3-4 gigabytes of room for EB and your page file.

You should do that regardless. EB is a big program, and requires a lot of space to run. You won't find many players that aren't willing to sacrifice several other games in order to have EB on their comp though. Well worth it.

The problem was, my Rome Total War is already on the D: drive. I put it there from the start.

so long as rtw is on the d:\ then it should not really be a problem ... what O/S are you running btw? .. also what error are you getting when you go to install EB .. (you putting it in the same directory as rtw?) . just to make sure.

I'm running on XP. I get an error saying:

"The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program"

Well my C: doesn't have the space so I just put the EB.exe file in the D: drive. I can't even run the .exe. It gives me that message before I even enter the installation phase.
