Attn. CA - RTW: Stupid Install Routine!
How the heck do you create a second installation?
The shitty installer won't do it. The Menu only lists an *Un-Install* option and executing "Setup" results in the same with the only option is *Un-Install*.
I've just about had it with the Install Routine of the damn game.
Somebody needs to get fired! damn it!
This is ridiculous, you can't even install *over* the existing installation.
Who did this, who, who, I say. Bring them to my office, NOW!

Thanks that's what I'm about to do.
If there's Registry issues, which one would think there should be, I'm going to fed up.

Wow, I find this topic somewhat rude, someone needs to get fired because you couldn't copy a folder...and it has a sexual preferance?
...People....
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

Well, you can't uninstall the new copy, you'll going to just have to delete it, and since it didn't make any new registry changes, it should be ok. You won't be able to play multiplayer tho, since the cdkey is stored in the registry. Maybe you can, assuming it tries to access the right registry file.

Re: Attn. CA - RTW: Stupid Install Routine!
It would be handy if CA put out a utility that cleaned up RTW registry entries though... Too many folks have had bad installs, then couldn't install properly later. Some folks can't patch, and registry entries are suspect.
Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
