Can't start campaign

[Lasarian]

Hi, just installed a fresh copy of 2.0b on top of the 1.6 patched BI installation, followed by the music pack. All seems fine till you go to select a new 'provincial campaign' - the New Shadow. At this point it won't let me get to the select faction screen. Instead it says ' Please select item from list' on pop-up screen. I do this repeatedly but no joy. So no choice but to quit at which point I see the message box error:

"Script Error in
bi\ci/data/world/maps/campaign/the_new_shadow/descr_strat.txt, at
line 11, column 1.

Expected start date of campaign or battle."

The top of the file in question looks like this:
"campaign the_new_shadow
options bi
playable
huns
franks
sassanids
empire_east
empire_east_rebels
celts
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
slave
end
start_date 238 summer
end_date 525 summer

marian_reforms_disabled
rebelling_characters_active
gladiator_uprising_disabled
night_battles_enabled
brigand_spawn_value 1999
pirate_spawn_value 999"

There's also two files called descr_strat1.txt and descr_strat2.txt which I presume are supposed to be there?

Any ideas what the bug is caused by? Anyone else had this or better yet, is there a fix?! Thanks in advance.

This occurs when the person installing the mod fails to follow the instruction to patch up to 1.6 first. Are you 100% sure you have done this? Did you check your version before installing TNS?

To remedy this, delete the ci folder (in your bi folder) and then patch up to 1.6 and then run the TNS installer again.
