    Default Cannot install TW Empire

    Hello,

    I just bought the game bundled with romeTW and alexander. Had no problem installing and playing those 2.

    My rig:
    - Vista SP2
    - radon 4850
    - core 2 E7200
    - 2 gig of rams
    - 320 MB DD
    latest drivers, updates etc

    The problem:
    After i installed steam, and clicked the "install" button for Empire, a box appears saying the system is preparing installation files and then i get 2 error messages: (translated from french, pardon the engrish)

    1) "the system administrator has set up the system policy to forbid this installation"

    i then click ok and get a second error message:

    2) "failed to run install script"

    I've had my computer for close to 2 years, i've always been administrator and set up everything for minimal intrusion and monitoring from the system, and i've never had a problem to install any game. So i'm a bit at loss about what's happening.

    if anyone has a clue i'd be grateful!

    Thanks.

    ok

    delete steam

    if you bought a hard copy of etw you can insert the cd and let it install, it will automatically install steam

    if not install steam again, download it from their site

    install etw

    I would say ti's time for you to contact Steam and find out what's going on their end.
