    Do you have a username with non-roman characters in it for XP? The EB installer cannot recognise them so it can't install properly. Best bet is to make a temporary adminstrative account with a username with only roman characters in it and then install EB using that login.

    You installed .81 from scratch? You didn't have .80? And you didn't just install the patch did you?

    No, i downloaded the .81 full install, but before that, the same thing as this happened with the .80

    Someone with the same error got this response:

    You said you had the "Activision" folder so in the EB installer you should have written this:
    Code:
    C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\
    Try unistalling .81 and reinstalling making sure that is the destination.
