Need help installing EB

[kain789]

Hi,

I've been a fan of EB for some time now, and I actually had been successfully playing .80 until I ran into the CTD problem (which I see mentioned quite a bit on the forums). So, I unistalled RTW and etc....but when I reinstalled everything, I've run into a bit of a snag. I've been able to install RTW and patch it up to 1.5; but then I double click the EB full installer (0.81a) it starts to unpack the files for a while, but finally stops and gives an error message saying that it can't find the proper file associations. So, I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem, and what they did to fix it. Originally, I was thinking it was a corrupt installer, so I've tried re-downloading and installing several times, but I always get the same error. Even more odd, if I try to install 0.80 instead of 0.81a, I still get the same error now (even though I had previously been able to install 0.80). A very strange error indeed. I've even tested this with my backup computer (a laptop) and I get the same error. Is there some winrar or unzip software that I might be lacking? Or does anyone have some other ideas of what could be going wrong with the installation process? I'm begging for help here...since I am now suffering from EB withdrawal. :(

Thanks for any help you might have for me,
Brian
