    Default Cannot Update

    So I installed RTW then BI, and checked the version in game. For RTW it says 1.3 and in BI it says 1.4

    So, I downloaded the 1.6 patch however when I execute it, it says that the RTW-BI.exe file cannot be found. I also thought that BI already came patched to 1.5? I was looking online for a solution and it looks like others have had this problem, but I failed to find a solution. I have windows 7 64 bit, but I do not believe thatīs what is making the problem.

    Iīd very much like to install RS II...

    Also I am using the battle pack version.

    Update:
    I installed into a folder I created (SEGA). Itīs literally c\:Sega\RTW. So that cannot be the problem. I was reading a thread were somebody recommended editing the registry, some string files...but I cannot find any string files (I did however encounter various RTW files).

    Hereīs what he recommended (said it worked for him):
    the InstallPath one must read C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War (the folder where BI is installed)
    you may need to set that for the EXEString too (i changed both at once to be sure)
    (the exe one should end with RomeTW.exe)


    Is there no way to simply download the 1.6 files???? Instead of in a .exe? So as to manually patch....

    With the patches they tend to only look at the original location of the install and not elsewhere if you've moved them there.

    It's an entry in the Windows Registry somewhere.

    Yes, and I think I had found it, but I do not know how to ĻfixĻ it to be directed to my RTW file. Perhaps someone can give me advice...I could not edit itīs current direction, but that was its current location in the hard drive.
