Installing EB- already followed installation guide :( please help

[shan735]

I've followed the installation guide for EB and i even looked at the screenshots. Sure there was some difference but i just assumed they were similar.

This is what i've done.

I've uninstalled RTW and re-installed it.
i copied RTW and made a new folder and pasted everything there, so therefore i've got 2 folders now- one that is the original rome total war, and a rome total war backup

Then i installed EB and i thought i should put this

C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe

now it doesn't work :(

ive installed EB 3 times and 3 times its come up with this when i click the icon

searching for rometw.exe, click browse to find.

and now i've done somethingw hen i went to properties and it opens the folder to where everything is :'(

help help :'(

did you install patches 1.3 and 1.5 to rome total war vanilla?

[shan735]

I've installed RTW from my disc and just to double check on options- i have the latest patch which is 1.5

[snake580]

ok but theres a doubt i have you said that you make an other folder but when i install i did it on the same folder why you dont just install rtw vanilla and then the patches after that open the eb 1.1 exe ant install it on the original folder

Don't install EB under Program Files if you are using Vista/Win7, better is C:\Games

Then you copy your RTW folder inside that.
Install EB 1.1 into that folder
Same goes for Eb 1.2 (not into the mod folder, just into RTW!)

Start it using either the Trivial Script or the shortcut (for problems with the shortcut, see:https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681)

Have fun!

Whoa, wait. Did you choose the RomeTW.exe as your install path? Is it even possible to do that? The correct path should be C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War and not C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe

1- I moved The Creative Assembly Folder away from program files and just put it under Acer:C\
i have also done the same thing to Rome Total War Folder (which only has uninstall in it)

The whatwhat? Isn't the Rome Total War folder inside the The Creative Assembly folder?

2- i have copied the Rome Total War Folder (which has data, Miles, gamespy etc) into a Rome Total War Backup Folder but that is still in the Program Files x86.

Do you have two Rome Total War folders? One with only uninstall and one with data, miles, gamespy etc? Why on earth is that? How did you get the folder with only "Uninstall" in it?
