1) I made a clean install of the original edition MEDIEVAL:TOTAL WAR (Activision), both disks.

2) I installed the 'MTW VIKING INVASION expansion pack' disk and the 'MTW Viking Invasion 2.01 patch'.
Just to be clear: the v2.01 is not a patch that you run. It's a replacement medieval_tw.exe file.

The path to your main mtw/vi folder must be manually entered when you run the installer. If the path is not entered correctly, the SamuraiWarlords_beta8 installs to the wrong folder. There is no error message in this event, and your game is still just regular mtw/vi.

Same here. The paths must be correctly entered, but you don't need either of these to play the mod.

No changes, the format is the exact one used in MTW.

Can you see that I did something wrong here??
Your main mtw/vi folder with the SamuraiWarlords beta8 and 8.1 installed should contain these files:

projectiles.txt (size=10 KB, date=3/29/2007 9:06 PM)
stw_mp11_build_prod.txt (size=46 KB, date=6/13/2008 1:44 AM)
