i instaled a clean version and then a 1.5 and then added the eb 81a patch
That's an error which indicates files are missing. After patching RTW up to v1.5, then all you need is the v81a "Full Install". That's been a proven success for people who have had problems getting the mod to run. In your case, all you should have to do is load the "Full Install" on top of your last install and it should work.
