Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat
I used the Mod Folder Installer, which worked fine. It also seemed to create the mymod.bat with that text in it, so I skipped that step.
So it should work... but it doesn't. Here's what happens:

- If I try to open mymod.bat directly, a blank window appears for an instant and then closes.

- When I open the shortcut Medieval II - mymod, it runs the game, but London is still London (even though I changed it as the tutorial suggested).

- I tried to change the launch options (yes, I'm using Steam), but I just get an error "Medieval II suffered a fatal error and will now exit". (If this is the solution, I am probably just typing the wrong launch options, since I was really just guessing).

My comp runs on Windows XP and I am using Steam to play.
I did use the method of running the game that required me to delete one file and change the name of another to Launcher... or something like that. I forget off hand. Could that be the problem?

Does anyone know what the problem is? Thank you.
