Can't even install

[Lusitan]

R:TW re-instaled, patched to 1.3, patched to 1.5, EB08-setup started, runs and... fails. Claims I'm missing a file in my Aplication Data folder... file's eb08take2.msi

Tried downloading it again, still he same result... what's up?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

What is that file? Is it an EB one? I don't know of it.

Dave, it's something about the way this installer unpacks - I don't know the details but I know this issue has come up before.

Anybody else had this experience? Any ideas on how to fix it?

If thats your error message, Lusitan, then have a look in your Documents and Settings folder. The EB install sometimes generates a new user folder, something like :user name or ~user name.

Edit:

@TA and Blacksnail:

You should make a sticky thread, Lusitan is the fifth (including myself) who reports this and i bet a lot of the "corrupted download?" threads are about the same problem ( just without the "magic" word eb08take2.msi).

If I'm not mistaken: the installer simply installs some of the files that it needs to enable itself to unpack there, (just like you need to do when you want to use Vercingetorix tools), and then unpacks the whole lot to your predefined target folder (your RTW vanilla one), and after all that it should remove this temporary folder.

A bit like Winzip, which uses a Temp folder when you create a new winzip archive.

Got it - the instaler wont recognize the letter í .

Thanks ya all!

You´ll find the unpacked EB installer in the c:\Documents and Settings\"?"user name\Application Data\Europa Barbarorum\install\ folder, run it, install, enjoy!
