R:TW Install Problem

**BrokenLantern** · January 11, 2012, 07:20 PM

Hi there all,

I am having trouble installing my Rome: Total War from the CD.
When I run the installer, the launcher pops up, I click install, and it starts the installer and then an error window pops up that says:

"Setup has experianced an error
-Please close any open programs
-Clear your temporary folder
-Check your internet connection ( Internet Based Set-ups)

Then try to run the setup again.

Error code -6006"

It is a R:TW gold disk (Vanilla+BI)

My OS is Win 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Are you installing on a Mac?

No, PC 64Bit Win 7 Home Premium

I am logged in as Administrator, the UAC turned off/disabled, this goodie starting at the C: drive icon http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=397636, and in folder besides the default one with no problems on my Win 7, 64bit.

Hmm, I don't really understand how to disable UAC. And that post doesn't mention installing R:TW in any detail.

Turn off/disable UAC. http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to...-in-windows-7/
Take ownership of your C: drive. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=397636
Install in a folder like C:\Games.

Good luck.

Thanks Irishron, I am currently on vacation, but when I get back I will try this, as inform you of the results.

After multiple attempts, I gave up, $9.99 of steam for R:TW gold. Thanks for your assistance Irishron!

I would rep but I don't know how. =/

You're welcome and rep is not necessary. Just enjoy the game. Try out some of the mods, too.

**BrokenLantern** · January 22, 2012, 03:44 PM

Do you have any recommendations for mods?

**irishron** · January 22, 2012, 04:01 PM

Roma Serrectum II, Rome Total Realism 7, Terrea Expugnandae, Europa Barbarorum, amonst many others.

When playing a mod a lot can depend on the period and setting you want to play in.

Don't forget there are some LOTR setting mods out there as well.

Try them all!
