ALEXANDER EB

[MiniMe]

I have a Collector's Total War edition that includes STW, STW-MI, MTW, MTW-VI, RTW, RTW-BI, stupid bonus material, and, what is of most impornace, Rome Total War - Alexander.
On my previous computer I had no problems installing it. On my new one installation procedure halts with message "error -1".
Anybody familiar with the problem?

2Konny: I feel total noob to ask it, but how do you enable "perfect_spy" in 1.0?

The ALEX-installer has a bug. It checks the drive C for enough discspace, regardless of the installationdrive.

Fortunately you dont have to install ALEX to play EB on ALEX. The only files that are needed are chat-filter.san and the RomeTW-ALX.exe.

The exe can be directly copied from the CD.
chat-filter.san is packed in the CAB files on the CD. CAB-extractors can be found on the net, i used a tool called "i6comp".

Hope that helps.

cheers

It does help really it's just that it is not that easy to make post like yours in the main post.. see, I never used CAB .. and tell you the truth I am not sure if the whole engine is just in *exe.. so.. I am no expert at that.. but thank you very much
