no sense?

To fix this problem, do the following:

1. You need a clean and patched up version of RTW.
2. Download all the RS2 files, as shown in the release thread.

3. Now, install the RS2 mod to a new folder, created on the desktop. Mine is named Roma Surrectum 2.
4. When the mod has been completly installed, copy and paste the entire contents of the Roma Surrectum 2 folder, located on your desktop, to your freshly installed RTW game. folder.

5. The new launcher that has been created on the desktop doesn't work. This is because it is a shortcut that the installer has directed towards the Roma Surrectum 2 folder located on your desktop, which isn't a game folder. To fix this, right-click the shortcut and change the Target and Start In lines so that both point to your correct RTW folder.

So in my case, "C:\Users\Al Simmons\Desktop\Roma Surrectum 2\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

becomes "D:\Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher\Roma Surrectum II.exe"

etc.

6. If you did everything correct, the launcher on the desktop works. If it doesn't delete it and create a new shortcut from the "Roma Surrectum II.exe" file located in Activision\Rome - Total War\launcher.

Enjoy!

there is no

ing sense in making a bugged installer.

What problem? What do you mean by 'no sense' - do you mean "don't read install instructions"?

i mean creating a isntaller that don't makes his work, and then we have to install in another directory, and then copy back th the original, and then change the desktop link, when that's what the installer should do.

Its so you correctly overwrite the files in RTW. You *can* install straight over RTW if you want, its just it could sometimes be a problem for win7 users (security problems) and this way, if you have a corrupted download issues, you dont have to go back and delete the files from the RTW folder, you can just delete the files in the RS2 folder, and re-download the corrupted installer.
