How To Fix UAC and VirtualStore Problems

[Gigantus]

What exactly is the problem? My guess would be a wrong syntax in the building requirement, not a virtual store issue.

You only need unpacked files that you want to edit, the kingdom campaigns however can not be started the default way - they require a BAT\CFG file combo like regular mods to be able to make use of edited files.

Images are dead, can you fix that please? I'm trying to get back into med 2 and I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally need stainless steel.
Thanks in advance

Fixed the images, have you read my tutorial for stainless steel? While it is written for steam users the installation is the same for disk users - less the executable renaming routine.

I was having issues in windows 10 setting the "Medieval 2 Total War" permissions.
I was getting "Failed to enumerate objects in the container" and some other error messages.

I found this site that helped me take ownership of the folder: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-t...ers-windows-10
Hope this works and hope this helps.

Tried this but I get this error message from Steam Medieval II: Total War could not be run because the file "packs/data_0/pack" is missing from the installation. Please re-install and try again. I have reinstalled about 5 times and it still won't work!

Disk or Steam? I am suspecting a typo because what you do get is this: ...\Medieval II Total War\packs\data_0.pack
Disk is two installation disks, any chance you installed only one disk? Or that the disk is damaged? If so then you can convert to Steam for free.

Without the data_0.pack file the game will not run as it contains the required files. Have a look into the packs directory and see what you have got in there.

I'm getting a runtime error R6025 multiple times on a Windows 10, disk install. It seems to happen when I wipe a faction out via a siege battle. Dunno if this is the right place to get help for this.

[Gigantus]

It's a known game bug: the 'BecomesFactionLeader' error. Happens when the last leader and heir die in the same battle. Only workaround is to temporarily remove the trigger section from the export_descr_character_traits file.
Which needs some additional stuff for the game to read unpacked files.
