EB How to Start?

[MaximusGauis]

I've uninstalled RTW. I've reinstalled. I have RTW Gold. I've downloaded EB 80 three times. When I click on EB Icon on my Desktop. A window opens and says. Windows is searching for Rome TW.exe. SO how do I get past this?

I had this problem too. What you do is click the browse button, and find the Rome.exe file in the Rome Total War folder, which is in Activision or The Creative Assembly folder in Program Files folder. After that it will locate it itself when you start it up.

I had to repair EB last nite. I have both Rome or Activation. But what file did you use? Because it keeps asking for file name.

All you do is look for where rome is installed, fine your eb folder, and click on the rtw.exe.

C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\EB\RomeTW.exe

I had the same problem, but when i start RomeTW.exe it's the normal version not the modded version of the game

All I can find is the EB setup. Now when I click on Icon. Wordpad opens. This gets worst.

Eb is definitely not emptying into the right folder. I had a similar problem. I would do a search of your drive and delete all your Rome files. Re-install Rome but custom name the folder something really simple like "ROME" nothing else. Do the required patches and then when you install EB direct it to the custom folder. you know its going to the right place because its simple and straight forward. Every version of Rome ( Gold, Barb, Eras) has slightly different folder names and most of them don't match the default EB folder. It's easy to mess it up. I did a couple of times. Hope this helps!

If you uninstall all of RTW, when reinstalling you could just write down the path it installs to. That is the exact same folder EB goes to.

That's true but if you have multiple folders it can be a bit confusing. A simple path like ROME is easier to deal with. He's got to be copying the wong path...

Well I uninstalled everything. Reinstalled RTW and BI. Can BI cause the problem I'm having?
