Steam users who have gotten this to run- how?

[Wolves In The Throne Room]

1. I have a fresh install of M2TW and Kingdoms from steam just yesterday.
2. I ran Kingdoms from the desktop shortcut and it loaded fine.
3. I followed the steam install instructions from this thread, installing part 1, 2 and the patch to programfiles x86-steam-steamapps-common-medieval2
4. I changed the name of americas folder to something else and the third age folder to americas per instructions.
5. I ran the TATW desktop short cut and I saw the ring spin and then it told me I had a fatal graphics error.
6. I right clicked the icon and ran as administrator as this is listed as a solution, the error told me it could not find the kingdoms exe.
7. The kingdoms exe is right where it is supposed to be.
8. I searched the threads and there other people having the issue of not 'finding kingdoms exe.' and no one has answered them.
9. Please share the secret

Thanks

You don't run the TATW desktop shortcut, you launch Kingdom's normally through your library in Steam so the launcher comes up and you run whatever campaign your replaced. (Americas in your case)

Thank you, I'm off to try it.
