    Default What am I doing wrong?

    ok I just downloaded SPQR and was eager to play it. I ran the install and installed it to a new "SPQR" folder within my RTW folder so as not to overwrite vanilla. But when the initial extraction finished the install exited and didnt install anything. The files are all there as they should be, but the game itself wont install. why?
    Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII

    It needs to overwrite the vanilla files. The best way to keep a vanilla version is to copy it.

    Start over :

    - Delete your RTW folder.
    - Install RTW again and patch it to version 1.5 (except when you have gold edition, it already is 1.5)
    - Copy paste the RTW folder to a different location
    - Install SPQR to one of these locations

    Now you will have a Vanilla game and SPQR game.

    You have to allow it to overwrite your original files. Follow what Hesus said.
