EB v.80 - First Impressions?

[Red_orbiT]

I can't seem to get the installation file to work :(
When I start the EB08-setup.exe it starts saying checking integrity, then it starts unpacking, and then, when the unpacking is done, it complains about a file that it cannot find:

c:\Documents and Settings\ägare\Application Data\Europa Barbarorum\install\6DAEAD9\eb08take2.msi

... and then promptly shuts down. I have installed a fresh 1.5 rtw. I also looked in the Europa Barbarorum folder that the installer complains about not finding files in, and all I find is another folder called Europa barbarorum wich only contains an empty folder called install. It is nowhere nere to the folder where I have rtw installed. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Corrupted EB08-setup.exe? Bad rtw installation?
I really want to play this mod. Any help would be nice.

I've played a few hours with the Casse and I would just like to say that thus far EB .8 is feeling like EB 1.0! The music is INCREDIBLE, I LOVE IT! I have had no problems with freezes or CTD's. the units look great and I simply can't wait to play with all the factions so I can se all the great improvements you guys have been working on. After seeing this release I have 10 times the respect for what you guys are doing, and I already thought you were heroes so that's saying something. Be proud, be very proud, you've done something pretty special IMO. EB should stand for Everyone Bow-down.

First impression: great work, and a HUGE improvement over an already-pretty-darn-good product in 0.74. Downloaded 0.8 last night, and was *just* about to finish installing, when the little woman "interrupted" me - sorry guys, as wonderful as EB is, there are some things worth stopping for.

Got up early this morning, finished installing, and thought, "Yeah, sure. I'll just play a couple of rounds and then head into the office." TWO HOURS later (!), I'm calling my boss and faking like I had a doctor's appointment. Rolled into work after 10:00 - more EB tonight!
