**lukas cesar** · May 15, 2011, 05:32 PM

Hi guys!! I'm new on this forum.... but it's a lot of time that i follow you!

You did a great work with this mod and now i'm trying to use it, but there is a little problem

After i completed the installation and i click on the Ib.exe the game didn't start and appears this error:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.
I Don't know what i must do.... please help me...

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the IB mods. If I had to guess I'd say you're experiencing an installation issue. If I were you, I'd DL the mod again and try to reinstall it. As usual, amke sure you have a clean copy of RTW-BI. Good luck.

i retried but with no accomplishments....
If i say you what i did maybe you can help me to find what i mistaked

1)Installed Rome total War
2)Installed Rome total war:BI
3)Installed patch 1.6
4)Downloaded part 1-2-3 from the thread of download
5)I installed the 3 parts inside C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome-Total War.
6)After those passages, on the desktop appeared a link IB-SOMNIUM APOSTATAE IULIANI V 1.0.
7)I clicked on it but every time appear this message: C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome-Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe is not a valid application of win 32.

Which folder is your RTW in? Where ever that is is where you need to install SAI.

"not a valid application of win 32. " that message generally means several things

corupted download
wrong windows version..Do you have 64-bit?
or your anti-virus..considered it a threat.

When you re-download turn off anti -virus just before it finnishes downloading, and when you install.Anything bad can get removed later, but its slim to none. Its just a suggestion based on experince so cannot promise

Yes, that's a possibility as suggested by Constantius. Get rid of your download and DL the mod again. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to uninstall your RTW-BI, delete any regisitries and reinstall everything again.
