Steam and Win 7

[Flyersfan314]

How do I get this mod to work with steam and Windows 7? Where is the exe file? Thanks.

[Eothese]

Well how far have you got? By exe do you mean for the installer or the mod, cause the mod uses a .bat launcher. If installation is your problem check the other threads. Or if your really finding it hard, take a look over here.

[Flyersfan314]

I have installed it in the mods folder. when I click the .bat file the cmd box pops up for a split second then nothing happens. Also I cant use the launcher in the first link without the .exe file. Cant use a .bat file for it.

You need to edit your registry manually to get the mods to show up in the launcher. There is a guide around here somewhere. It isn't that hard. I think Gigantus did a guide. Also, click on medieval ii not kingdoms in steam to get the launcher to come up.

Its been a while. I have been playing SS. I want to try and fix this again. Where is the log and where can I find the registry guide?

[Eothese]

Have you checked the log?

[Eothese]

C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs, forget the registry for now.

[Flyersfan314]

The logs folder is empty. Also its not in the SEGA folder its in the Steam folder.

[Eothese]

Well, you need to search for system.log.txt, you can use the search function of your PC.

[Flyersfan314]

Its too big to attach as a file and im having trouble copy and pasting it. My browser crashes...

[Eothese]

I don't need to see the whole thing, the last half dozen lines or so will do. Also try to make sure it is the expanded americas log, it should have the mods name near the top.

Those aren't the last lines of the log and its also from the americas mod, not mine.

[Flyersfan314]

those are the last line of my log. how do I find your mod's lines?

These are the tutorial\instructions:

[Flyersfan314]

Im getting a fatal error every time I try and start expanded Americas using the launcher.

[Gigantus]

Check my answer in that thread.

[Flyersfan314]

Heres my log. I don t know what to do to fix this...

[Flyersfan314]

CA_LIBS box pops up with text saying fatal error.

[Eothese]

Again that is the log from the AMERICAS expansion, not my EXPANDED AMERICAS mod.
