Still not working! After reinstallation, running as admin, taking ownership of the folders, and installing the hotfix.

I get this when I wanna run the game.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When I terminate this command prompt by pressing a random key, the following slightly different message appears.

Script: C:\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools\demo_launcher\launcher.wsf
Line: 345
Sign: 4
Error: Access denied
Code: 800A0046
Source: Runtime error in Microsoft JScript

And again my DxDiag.

Retail Collector's Edition. Multilanguage version, everything installed as English.

Campylobacter, can you post the contents of C:\SEGA\Medieval II Total War?

And of course I patched Kingdoms to 1.5 before installing EBII.

Heres the file, an your suggestion allowed me to run the builder ok but when it finished i was still unable to start Eb2

[kdrakak]

No need to, just extract this fix(it should replace some existing files) in M2TW\mods\EBII. Let me know if it works. Sorry for the trouble.

It worked for me. Had to grant write permissions to extravt in EBII folder.

20:57:10.758 [system.rpt] [always] ==== system log start, build date: Jun 25 2007 version bld-medieval2-update2.1-30 (43169) ===

Doesn't that indicate that he hasn't got patch 1.5 installed? Isn't v1.5 required to play EB2?

For step 7 do you have java installed? What's your install path?

If yes(if not you must install it) go to:
Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools

Open build_scripts.ini with notepad(right click) and update this path to your java path(eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe):
Exe = E:\Programs\Java\jre7.17\bin\java.exe

Afterwards run Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools\cuf\build-all-cuf.wsf.
Double click, if it still opens in interner explorer then right click and choose open with command prompt.

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
Version: Retail

I had shader.txt problem, tried first two fixes, that you provided and I managed to launch the mod. Then I had the problems with texts appearing everywhere in game, I did exactly as you said and it took like 5 minutes to rebuild everything, but now IT WORKS!!! So far no other issues, thanks!

While I was playing my Pergamon campaign my unit cards started acting weird.

[siccmr187]

I cant seem to install kingdoms, Im so confused right now its been a while since i have been pc savy. My MTW2 is 1.3 , yet i have a kingdoms exe. But my kingdoms exe is what led me to mtw2 with game version 1.3 I got the gold edition, same as the other dude whos having same problems as me. Its just one installation and thats it. any advice?

[Wulfburk]

M2TW is 1.30, while kingdoms is 1.5. If i go inside the options tab in M2TW it will say 1.3

[siccmr187]

hold on i think i have problem. My games readme file.... what a f***n con!

The Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms contained within this gold pack is
only compatible with the boxed retail version of Medieval II: Total War or the
Medieval II: Total War contained within this gold package. Digitally distributed versions
of Medieval II: Total War are not supported. Uninstalling the digitally downloaded
version of Medieval II and then installing the gold pack will allow you to play
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms.

Install ran fine but it put two shortcuts on my desktop. One goes to Launch.bat and the other to Launcher.exe.

Yes, when you install Kigndoms it automatically patches Medieval 2 to 1.3 before installing Kingdoms, because that was the current version when Kingdoms was released. But you still have to download and install the 1.5 patch that was released later.

[siccmr187]

Ignore previous post of mine, i dont know how to edit so apologies for this one

Yes. Delete the one that's not proper to your installation.

gotcha! installing it now

ADDENDUM TO MY PROBLEM

When I directly execute launch.bat, the weird "can't find M2TW" thing doesn't appear in the command prompt, but that second JScript error still appears.

And I get the message shown in the attachment when I directly execute launcher.swf.

[siccmr187]

Nothing works i give up! stupid Gold edition is to blame i think, should have bought of steam or pirated night night all
