If you entered, say, mods\my_mod\ in the Path field of the tool, the Launcher would pass this to kingdoms.exe as mods/my_mod/. Additionally if you entered my.cfg in the CFG field, then the Launcher would pass the kingdoms.exe the following as the CFG file to load: mods/my_mod//my.cfg.
The kingdoms.exe will not be able to find that file and will abort with the error message. To fix the launcher menu entry, delete the old one and create a new one?
I am having an issue. When I open the Launcher Mod List and go to "Create New Mod" The "Language" part is not even there, and the "config file" part is grayed out and does not even have a browse option available.
Which would be why you got a message saying you require admin permissions.
That's as intended. The language entry just uses whatever language you've installed M2TW with, while the config file chooses the appropriate one from your mod folder if it exists otherwise it leaves it blank. See the release notes for the 1.2 version for more precise details.

I just downloaded the app but when i opened it it wouldn't let me type in or browse for the .cfg file also the box to select a launguage isn't there.
Read two posts up from yours, the app has been updated to work differently.

The tutorial Creating a World - Mod Install for Steam has been updated to reflect the changes with version 1.4
Hey all,
I am having problems getting Call of Warhammer working. This is what I posted on another thread. I keep getting the CA_LIBS error and I can't understand how to fix it.
"I am having problems installing it, I uninstalled everything, then re-installed it. I get the laucher, Vanilla and Kingdom works, but CoW doesn't. I downloaded it through pirate bay and utorrent, I did everything that was needed as I use steam, I used the mod app thing laucher, CoW appears on the TWMII launcher, and then when I want to play it I get the CA_LIBS error. So I checked and so I found a thread where Gigantus explains how to fix it but I don't have any of the files you mention."
Thanks!
Edit: Whats interesting is that all the normal kingdom campaigns and the vanilla version works perfectly. Only the Call of Warhammer entry doesn't.

Right but is there any errors that tend to occur while using the app?
Not if you use it correctly, but that isn't related to this tool but to the mod being installed correctly.

Hey, I would like to say that I got the mod to work but!
Ok I discovered something. All this time I was opening the launcher through steam and the kingdoms game. All this time it gave me the error when I tried to open the game. What I did just now was to open the launcher through the vanilla game in steam, since you asked me to try out both, and voila! this time it works. Really odd not sure why but it works.
I don't know if this is normal or if it is something new.
launcher.exe is in the vanilla icon's target. This is why.
Hey, Posted in the Steam install thread yesterday and was directed here. So, installed everything correctly (I think) and when I try to run the game I just get an "unhandled exception" error. Game starts to come up and I see a split second of "Westeros Total War" load screen and then it goes blank. Using the steam version and used Squid's mod app. Any help?
Nothing my app does, you likely installed the mod incorrectly as I just installed Westeros on my machine (I have M2TW/Kingdoms for Steam) ran it through the Kingdoms game and everything worked fine.
