RTW registry help

[broken shadow]

first off, hi to my fellow Total War fans. i hope i can be of as much use to you as you hopefully will be to me

anyways, i just recently bought barbarian invasion to play it but also because i lost my RTW cds and really want to play it again. i tried to install it but it comes up with an error saying

"No prior installation of Rome: Total War was found. This installation program will now terminate."

even though i have RTW installed. so i used my awesome brain power [jk] to realise that the registry keys for RTW arent in the registry (where did they go? =0 [jk]). this would most likely be because i recently formatted my C drive and RTW is installed on another drive. i can still play RTW with a no cd patch but i cant reinstall it because i lost the cds.

so what im asking is if anyone could be so kind enough to post the neccesary registry keys for RTW so i can create them myself (its hard to believe but yes i do know what im doing) and get BI installed.

Hi broken arrow......just wanted to say welcome to the org...hope you enjoy being involved.

We may not cross threads a lot.....I'm into MTW-Vi and STW-MI .....but I definitely want to check RTW out when I get more grunt in my computer, or get a brand new one.

Hey I wonder if posted a thread - "High-end coputer system needed by wannabe RTW player" do ya reckon I might get given one?????????????????

Another thread could then follow...."Matrixman celebrates miracle"

Oh well...enough of my fantasies...all the best
