EB vs. Antivirus

[XSamatan]

De-select the option to install Trivial Script during the installation of EB1.1 (and launch EB with a shortcut)

or

de-activate the program itself for the installation

or

put the installer itself on Kaspersky's safe list

Well I finally had time to try option #1 and it works nearly perfectly, so thank you. Although I did get a weird script error after I closed EB saying Seuthes is a named character with no father, isn't married, and isn't the faction head. It didn't force the game to quit so I don't know if it's a big issue or not.

That sounds like a bugged installation.
Please run validateInstall.bat and post your results here (if you have problems with the validation tool, please read this first: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=93236 )

If the game itself runs without problems and you don't get weird names or traits it should be no big problem.

Here are my results, I think most of the changes are due to Jirisys's EB mod though.

I'm quite sure it comes from the package. As long it does not corrupt games I would ignore it.

I'm not sure if it is or not though. I'm having waaaaay more trouble playing EB than I used to. The CTDs are mostly random from scrolling over a part of the campaign map to trying to load my save to trying to start/end a battle. I wonder if my BI installation is messing with EB since on my last computer any time I had BI installed I could never play EB, no exceptions.
I'll try the whole uninstall/reinstall minus BI tomorrow.

IIRC the used package has some problems with the campaign map (in Britain?), if you use only Ferromancer's installer for BI that should work as this is a fine submod and proven to be working like a charm.
