I installed RTW gold correctly and EB correctly and I click on the EB icon, it loads, i wait...everytime after about 3-5 minutes it shuts down and sends me back to windows. Im dying to play this mod. Please help. There are no error messages. Anyone had this happen? Thanks

Check the 'install validation tool' stickied thread.
There are several things there you can try for crashes at the start.

I have tried to install EB on a clean RTW gold 4 times now, and I have tried about everything else I could find in the forums as well. But I have not tried the validation tool, so I will do that and let you guys know what transpires. Thanks a bunch.

There's also a number of other suggestions in that thread that have helped people in the past. You should try all of them.

Make sure you installed EB to The Creative Assembly instaed of Activision if you have RTW gold.

Try to get this file and extract it into <RTW>/Data/packs.

I got it working and am amazed with the quality of this mod. Only complaint would be the load times but they are more than worth it. Just wanted to say thanks for everyones help. Especially Bovi. If youre ever in the San Diego area I'll buy you a beer.
