    Default Can't find start-up icon for FA v2.6

    Hey! I hate starting new threads in fear of unleashing a an already expired and exhausted topic but i can't find out how to start the FA mod after installing it. I initiated the installer, it did it's magic, there was the Ci sub-folder under the Bi folder, but i can't find any batch file that'll let me start it. Nothing on my desktop either
    I've posted some pic that might help...

    More in-depth:
    --Vista with admin priv
    --I have Bi from Gold Edition patched to 1.6
    --I downloaded The New Shadow (.EXE) from fileplanet off of Aradan's "======> Mod Information & Download - Read This First <======" thread
    --put the installer on a flashdrive which was safely ejected
    --installer is 551 megabytes
    --entered the directory for where my romeTW.exe was
    --let installer do its magic
    --saw no start-up icons on desktop, nor in Rome- Total War folder, bi subfolder, or ci subfolder.
    --eventually became flabbergasted and went to play halo

    Is there supposed to be a batch file to start it?

    Thanks guys!

    No shortcut was created on your desktop?

    If not, go to the RTW-BI.exe, right-click, Properties and append the Start line with the following: " -show_err -nm -mod:bi/ci", so that the complete line now looks like that (the path to the RTW folder might of course differ):
    Code:
    "D:\Games\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:bi/ci

    OMG, GOD HIMSELF ANSWERED

    It worked, thanks!
    I got my pc-savvy dad who followed your inscructions by creating a shortcut on my desktop, linked it to RomeTW-Bi.exe, then clicked on properties for the shortcut, and added the "show_err -nm -mod:bi/ci" to the target path.

    Will be conquaring vast lands as Gondor after i get back from work,
