If you have 64-bit, the ones you want will have an (x86) after them. The ones in the virtual store will override anything in the primary one, and any changes made to the folder without administrative rights will go to the virtual store basically. So saved games or any files changed or created while EB or RTW is running. If you want to do a perfect fresh install, make sure that after uninstalling EB and RTW you delete the entire installation folders in both of the Program Files folders.

I ran into this problem when installing 1.0. I decided to do a fresh install and removed EB and RTW completely, plus the installation folders in c:\program files. But I forgot about the virtual store. When reinstalled RTW and EB I got a CTD when trying to run. I had to go back completely remove RTW and EB and then delete the files that remained in both the install folders. After that I reinstalled, bingo, no problems whatsoever.

Hope that helps.


Holy crap dude, thanks a lot. I just looked in my virtual data folder for CA and found like 20 RTW installations. I'll delete them and reinstall and see if it'll work then.

thanks for the vista info



btw
Why does a pc need 2 program folders? >.< Vista sucks ballz for gaming.
