Let's Play the (failed) Installation of Europa Barbarorum

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

Oh..so I'm not the only person who can't get EB to download without completely locking up Firefox/IE?

EB 1.2 patch downloaded fine. But every time I try to download EB 1.1, as soon as the download finishes and reaches 99%, the browser completely locks up and must be End Task'd. Also, whenever I try to select and delete the EB1_1.exe file that (kind of) downloaded, Windows Explorer locks up. Are these symptoms of the corrupted installation this thread talks about? Of course, I can't even get close to even opening the exe, nevermind installing..

I suppose I'll need to try this. Is there some official word on why this is happening? I don't see it mentioned in any stickies. Been itching to play EB again lately.

Isn't there a 1.2 patch for RTW?

Honestly, you took so much time doing all this and didn't took a little extra to look into the technical subforum?
The right advice comes from Hax, forget the C:\ thing and look into the https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681

You should now install EB 1.2 into your RTW folder, apply the fixes (from my sig) and have fun playing EB!

I had serious problems with the .org ftp before, but since then I got utorrent and used the torrent every time and I'm still seeding, could it be that? Otherwise I would assume that the validater is the exact thing that isn't working. I can't comment on it being on the C drive or on vista/7 as I install everything to my Maxtor external Hard Drive.
