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.

I also want to mention that I've tried getting Rome Total Realism with the same result. And this is AFTER I put down my firewall temporarily and tried everything in the D: drive.

so are you saying that you get this message when attempting to install ?

the file is kinda big i guess , do you often have errors downloading single large files ? could be high packet loss or something corrupting the file structure.

or is this after you install

This error is after I install (taking 45 min - 1 hour) and the .exe seemingly doesn't work. I don't even get to the installation process in reality. I just get through installing the .exe file.

It's big, yes and I wouldn't be able to put it on my c: drive because it's too full at the moment. I am putting it on the D: drive and it's still not working though. I guess I have some problems because like I said, Rome: Total Realism is giving me the same problem. I get the .exe and then it will not work.

How might I fix this high packet loss?

Thanks for all your help so far, by the way.

have you tried downloading EB v1.1 again? It may have been corrupted when you downloaded it the first time. Also how much free space do you have on your d: drive? how much free space on your c: drive? When was the last time you ran a defrag on your d: drive?

I've tried downloading EB v1.1 many times (that is the problem one, not the 1.2 patch). I've also uninstalled RTW and started over patching up to 1.5.

On my D: drive I have 6.66 GB
C: drive I have 51 MB

Haven't defragged in a while. I'll do it today.
