RTRPE1.9 with GSP's RTW anthology

[Senni Treborius]

First let me say that I am 52 and not very computer literate. (Took me ages to work out what CTD meant). So please explain any abbreviations used. I have an interest in roman history and my nephew bought me a game RTW anthology from GSP. After installing it (and patching rtw 1.3 to 1.5 BI's already v1.6), I found out about RTR, and became very excited. On installing this (autoinstalling from the compessed file into the_creative_assembly folder) it didn't seem any different from the original. Searching about I found an actavision folder with some stuff in it. Searching for help I arrived here.
DOES THE 'FOLDERS/ AREA INSTALLED TO' MESS UP THE GAME AND IF SO CAN ANY ONE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO? I THINK INSTALLING INTO THE SAME FOLDER WOULD HELP BUT AM NOT SURE.
will be playing rtw1.5 for the future, though even that seems buggy now. CTDs weep.
PS I'm still using XP professional

@Senni -- this is the easiest directions & only two simple downloads that I've found to play RTR-PE v1.9 with Extended Realism Mod v3.2 and the patch for ExRM v3.2 up to v3.2.4:

You'll need to tweak these instructions for your personal file structure (which is what gets so confusing) but since most all previous Mods, patches, etc., are all 2-3 years old, I found this link to be most helpful out of all of original instructions & now broken links.

Best of luck!
