Not so. It says you should install in a separate RTW.

To clarify, I was answering his question whether files in the vanilla structure are parsed and modified from whatever they are at the moment. They are not, they are simply overwritten regardless of their current status.

If you wanted to make EB work correctly, you would have followed the installation guide and done so in a clean 1.5 RTW. There is very little else intelligent to say.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that the next release will be completely modfoldered (no vanilla spillage), thanks to the assistance of FATW's Dol Guldur.
