    I don't know the link you're talking about, but I've had a lot of problems using IE when downloading files from sites that are PHP based. And you might be talking about something completely different. (I'm no web expert but I think Microsoft has deliberately broken this open source protocol.)

    But, if you're using IE6 then you can right click on the link and choose the 'Save As' menu item.

    That's what I do anyway.

    cant you just download the single file exe file and then double click to install.

    sounds much easier than messing around with all this multiple file stuff.

    the single file download is here

    A thousand pardons mechaixd. I was a little busy with life today and hadn't been on much. And for some reason this forum has turned into Grand Central station today. Your mod's head is spinning.

    Try the download from another source like totalwar.com. I'll notify barocca. He is our file guy.

    Sorry again for the neglect.
