I bought the 'white label' RTW today. I proceeded to install the game and then download and install the 1.5 patch. I then proceeded to download and install EB 1.0. Once installation was complete i loaded the game and went into 'campaigns'. I decided to play as the romans and clicked on the roman icon. The load bar appeared but the game then crashed to the desktop.
I have carried out all the permanent/temporary fixes with no success. I also used the validation check. The results displayed were as follows.

You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.
