    Icon4 R:TW Install Problem

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
