Cannot determine installed game language for m2tw gold

**Billious** · July 13, 2013, 04:49 AM

Just re-installing m2 gold after several years and the above message came up. What can I do to get round it? I have searched installed games and found no remainders of old games

Assuming Vista, Win 7/8, disable the UAC.

Thanks for your quick reply. How do I disable the user account control? Please excuse my ignorance.

I have just done what you said, and it still comes up with 'cannot determine the installed game language for medieval 2:totalwar gold

What version of Windows?

**Billious** · July 13, 2013, 06:08 AM

Windows 7

Install the game in C:\Games to get away from Microsoft's security BS.

Unfortunately I can't even get to a point where I can chose where to install it. Having said that, I think c:games is where it would automatically install anyway.

It would automatically install in C:\Program Files (x86) and therein lies 99% of the problem.

Use the setup.exe on the disc instead of the autorun feature.

For your information, if you don't have at least 9gb of free space on C: drive, the installer won't let you pick another location.
