Buggy Installation for v1.0

**Naughteous Maximus** · 10-21-2007, 18:19

I am using Windows XP, not Vista

I deleted the map.rwm file, didn't stop CTD. I even installed a new map.rwm file that was mentioned in your CTD solutions; that didn't help either. I can get into the start-up windows but when after I choose my country I start a game, I get a CTD still.

So that means you've done

X Install from scratch (didn't work)
X Download a map.rwm file (didn't work)
X Add -nm to the shortcut (helped, but didn't work anyway)
_ Delete some interfering files that Vista hides in its bowels
_ Install using 7-zip rather than installer
_ Run the validation tool
_ Install the fixes linked in my sig

Correct? Please try the other ways.

Ok, I have windows XP so I don't think I have to worry about Vista.
I've downloaded 7-zip but don't know how it works.( Yes, I tried to figure out how it works but I suffer from bouts of computer illiteracy) I also downloaded Procmon and followed the instuctions and pictures shown. I would get procmon going then start EB, once EB got to the "Choose nation" screen and I chose a nation, I got kicked out but no longer to desktop. Once I got kicked out, my computer started rebooting. Twice I ran procman and then EB and twice I ended up rebooting. You guys must have completely redesigned the game to have so many bugs and CTD's.

Maybe you still have EB files in your registry?

4 down, 3 to go. When did I ask you to use Procmon? If you want to use such a tool, Filemon is the thing as you have XP.

I advise you to try the validation tool currently.

To use 7-zip: Run 7-zip. Choose [B]Open[B] and find the EB installer. Select Extract and point it to the RTW directory where you want EB installed. Wait until it's done.

Ok, I've installed 7-zip into the RTW directory. Now what? Sorry, I'm somewhat computer illiterate, I play the games, I just don't program them, so I'm trying hard to understand what you want me to do. What do you mean also by validation tool? Where do I get that?

You should have installed 7-zip in another location, but no matter for now.

Now run it.
Find the installer where you downloaded it to, in 7-zip's window.
Right-click the installer to open it, select 7-zip=>open archive. Then you should see a file structure inside 7-zip's window.
Click Extract.
Copy the path where you have installed RTW from a Windows Explorer window. (yes, you need to find it here too...)
Paste the path you just copied into 7-zip's dialog.
Click OK.
Wait until done.
Modify the shortcut that a previous EB installation made to point to the folder where you have currently installed the RTW you're using for EB.

Now. If you have any problem understanding this very detailed list, ask very specific questions about what is unclear. I am quite computer literate, and therefore take a lot of knowledge for granted that you might not know, so you'll have to help me help you.
