TATW_3.0_Part1of2.exe won't run on 64-bit Windows 7

[ramela]

So, when I try to run the installer, I get an error message telling me to find out from the software vendor whether I need a 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, because the file is incompatible.

When I try to run it in any compatibility mode, I get an error saying the Windows can't find the file at the exact location the file is in.

So, is there someplace to download the files for TATW 3.0 (and the patch) without the .exe installer?

(The same problem is present with the other file and the patch also)

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm sorry but It works on windows 7 64 bits : I've been able to verify it on my own system.

So, your problem is somewhere else.

Good luck !

Yeah, I also have Windows 7 64 bit and have no problems. Try following this guide to disable UAC protection, maybe it will yield some results.

Thanks for not just trolling me and actually trying to help, StealthFox.

I've already tried those before posting (, because they helped in other installation problems) and they didn't help.

Clearly the installers are not going to run on my system and no one else is suffering from this problem, so it is unlikely anyone will come up with a solution. Is it possible to get the files in a .zip archive, just copy them to the Steam/steamapps/commom/medieval total war ii/ folder and install the mod without the .exe installer?

[StealthFox]

Ah, so you are on Steam? Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the Steam version. Perhaps someone else here can be of more help.

I have been trying to install this for a long time, i seem to have the same problem as ramela, unlike ramela i am not on steam yet it still won't download either pat 1 or 2 of TATW, although it did manage to download the patch v3.1
any help would be much appreciated...

[StealthFox]

You can't get it to download? Only suggestion I think is to keep trying.

i've been trying (albeit not continuously) since it came out, first on my old machine running xp, then my old machine running vista and now my new machine running windows 7, most mods have downloaded fine onto my computer, although this one i've never been able to install it...

[ramela]

So... I downloaded the .exe files to my laptop at work, which is also on Windows 7 and the installation files extracted themselves to a temporary folder nice and easy. I then copied the extracted files into the medieval ii total war -base folder and added the third age mod into the launcher with the recommended tool.

Now I cannot launch any of the Kindoms' mods, Third Age nor the basic M2TW. All I get is errors saying "Game is currently unavailable (Application running)"

Anyone ever seen that error before?

(If anyone is interested the extracted files are available for at least a short time at www.ramela.fi/Temp.zip )

Ok, have been looking around, this thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=522015 has a different download link, i don't know if it will work or not, don't have time to test it today and am working tomorrow morning, will have a look tomorrow afternoon and see if it helps.

I managed to solve my problem, to a certain extent.

I followed the steps outlined here :

Then disabled Windows UAC and Medieval and all the mods started working.
