I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. - Stephen Hawking -

Re: Can't Start The Mod Getting Errors, This Happening To Anyone Else?
Yes, did the other thing too, didn't work.

Please list the actions you have taken. "Did it all" and "the other thing" are too unspecific.

Extract it into M2TW\mods\EBII\data, where M2TW means the path where your Medieval 2 game is installed. Then try to run the game again.
.Stalwart gecko, there is a good chance that you have M2TW installed under Program Files. Yes? This can lead to several different and weird ways of misbehaviour from the game. There are ways to alleviate this. Use option 1 if it works for you.
1.
Add more permissions to the M2TW folder. Refer to this thread, search for "3)" on the page to find instructions with screenshots.
This
solved it, although I had it installed outside of Program Files before too. It is working now.2.
Uninstall EB2.
Uninstall M2TW.
Reinstall M2TW somewhere outside of Program Files, for instance C:\M2TW, or C:\Games\M2TW.
Reinstall EB2.

Re: Can't Start The Mod Getting Errors, This Happening To Anyone Else?
You brilliant badger, you need to be able to read headlines. Your problem is the GERR_GENERIC one, unless you misreported it? Then you should look for something that relates to that problem.

Re: Can't Start The Mod Getting Errors, This Happening To Anyone Else?
yes thats the problem. so i should install the game outside programm files and use the text fix. thats the solution yo suggest, right?

Re: Can't Start The Mod Getting Errors, This Happening To Anyone Else?
Oh, sorry, my mistake
. There is one more thing you can try. You need java installed, and you need to have done the permissions step first.
Go to M2TW/documentation/tools, and open build_scripts.ini. Update it with the location where you have java installed. Then go to M2TW/documentation/tools/cuf, and run build_strings_bin.wsf. It should run for at least 20 seconds.
Short of that, it's just to start over and install yet again. That has worked for some people.
