Installing on RTW Gold Edition

[Dregen]

Hello,

I'm using RTW Gold Edition and am attempting to install EB. I am using Windows 7 and the install goes through and I click EB and the vanilla RTW comes up.

I read that RTW Gold Edition is patched to 1.5 on purchase. I even tried to install 1.3 and 1.5 and neither worked (I assume due to GE already being at 1.5)

Thanks for the help

Don't install EB in Program Files!
Either do the quick way and move the folder away or stay on the safe path and install new...

Concerning Vanilla starting this might help you:

My EB shortcut doesn't work!
Sorry about that. A product of lacking experience with creating installers, I made a mistake when creating the shortcuts that start EB 1.2.

* Use the Trivial Script to start EB instead of the start menu shortcut. You need to have installed this as part of EB 1.1.
* Modify the shortcut target. Move the end quote from the end of the line to directly after RomeTW.exe and it should work (goes for both the new shortcuts in 1.2). For instance, instead of "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err -ne" it should be "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne.

i have the gold edition and have the same problem.
when i start EB or any other mod that i`ve tried,it shows the barbarian invasion starting page but after that you`ll see ROME:TW `s menu.
that`s so so weired...even weirder is when the pc gets crazy and runs some random things in the background,for example when the game starts...it minimizes and then there are 3-4 messeges asking me if i`m sure that i wanna delete the game!
i`m using windows 7 and i dident install the game in the program files.
edit:problem solved.
