New installer for Europa Barbarorum with Barbarian Invasion

[Skullheadhq]

Thanks for this mod, I used it before without any problems, but now I've got one.

I installed:
RTW:GOLD
EB 1.1
EB 1.2
This mod.

And when I select a campaign to play and press the next button, it gives me a CTD without error messages, just a clean desktop, what should I do?

And yes, I'm using Vista

Just did a brand new install of RTW, BI 1.6, EB 1.1, EB1.2 and finally your patch and I cannot get past the part where it says select from the list. Today is the first time installing any of those on my new harddrive. It keeps giving error line 31 column 1 unexpected start date of campaign when game closes. Any solutions for this?

I am using XP Service pack 2 and I am installing all on my second harddrive under E:\games\rome total war.

Hello everybody. I apologize for not replying sooner. For those still having problems with the installer, and appear to be installing things in the right order, I have a possible solution for you. When running the installer, keep an eye out for the scrolling text box that posts messages regarding the installation. Copy and paste these messages on here--that might give a better clue as to what's going on. I have some theories, but they can't be confirmed unless I have some technical information.

It appears a files are failing to copy over from one local directory to another, but not files extracted from the installer--those copy over fine. You aren't running a limited account or running vista with User Account Control are you?

[WarpGhost]

Im using an XP SP3 admin account, so it shouldnt be a problem with that.

Take me through the install order; it shouldnt be an issue there but I may have misread something.
