Hi..

this is my first post in the forum. I have been playing EB v.082 for three months now and very much enjoying it. Everything went fine until tonight I checked this forum and it says that a newer EB v 1.0 is already out (yeah I know... I am very late to aware that... couldnt believe how I let that happened

So I now Im ready to install EB v 1.0. Already downloaded it, took me 4 hours but I guess it'll worth

My question is: Since I installed EB v 0.82 in a copied folder of vanilla RTW (Gold Edition, patched to 1.5), can I just do the following steps in order to install EB v 1.0?

1. Uninstall current EB v.0.82

2. Delete whole copied folder of vanilla RTW which previously contained EB 0.82 (FYI I named that folder C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - EB)

3. Make a copy of the original folder of vanilla RTW again (I never do anything to the original RTW installation folder - it is absolutely a clean installation), this time it will be named C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - EBv10

4. Instal EB v 1.0 to that newly copied folder (i.e C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - EBv10)

Basically that is 4 steps that Im planning to do? So I will not unistall RTW and then reinstall it again, just unistall current EB v 082, make another copy of clean vanilla RTW from the original RTW that I still keep, and then install EB v 1.0 to that copied folder. Could somebody help me to know whether that plan would work or not, especially the part that I do not want to unistall and reinstall vanilla RTW again?

BTW, I am still in step 1 now. I am uninstalling EB v 082 from the Control Panel, and it has almost been 45 minutes until now and it is still "Gathering required information" (there is a progress bar but is is very slow, I am using Vista btw...) Is that normal, the unistallation process takes so long?

Thanks a lot, hope someone would respond to my questions; and very sorry for my bad English, I hope you could understand it though...
