    Damn, it still doesn't work. I tried what you said-no dice. It is definitley the Gold Edition that I'm using...Any more suggestions? I was able to uninstall all traces of RTW and EB this last time too. It still says it cannot find RomeTW.exe

    So you have now installed RTW only? If so, there's the method of stubborness:
    restart your PC, try again;
    if still no luck -> uninstall RTW with the uninstaller, if you haven't patched it;
    -> restart your PC;
    -> re install RTW;
    -> check if it works;
    If so: continue by patching it to 1.5 if it wasn't 1.5 already;
    If not: try again;
    If you have your RTW working and patched to 1.5: on to installing EB;
    Check if it works now;
    If not: on to step 1 again...

    It's tiresome... but as soon as you've managed to get EB to live on your PC... I think you'll find it was worth it.

    And: DO NOT BOTHER WITH BI. When you get tired/ bored of EB (IF you ever will), uninstall the whole lot, reinstall all of RTW/ BI you want.

    This last time I had to use v .8 instead of .81a, which I had been using before, does that make a difference? The link for .81a is down and at this point I don't care too much if its .8 or .81.

    Oops, torrent can now be downloaded once more. Nevermind.

    Is it likely that simply buying a new RTW vanilla (not Gold) would work? (once I patched it 1.5 obviously)

    Unlikely. Did you try to download the mss32.dll? Please verify that your installation looks like this:



    My mss32.dll says it's version 3.0.0.0.

    I think this helps. My folder did not look like that when I thought I had EB installed on it. My mms32.dll is 3.0.0.0., but it didn't have all those files, and no EB folder, just the FullInstaller file and the shortcut for EB. So maybe its something basic I'm doing wrong...just weird because it seems so simple.
