    Default "ERROR: Setup was unable to find a valid installation of m2tw kingdoms"

    I use the STEAM version of m2tw and kingdoms.
    This was for 1.0

    Help?

    If you're getting this only *after* a previously successful install of Retrofit, it can usually be fixed by running a reg cleaner. The 1.0 installer for Retrofit uses the registry in a sort of wonky way. I've solved this problem by first trying to uninstall any previous install of Retrofit via add/remove programs, then using CCleaner or Glary Utilities to clean out any old Retrofit junk causing problems.

    If you're getting this problem before a fresh install that's never been attempted, go into the game's directory and make a copy of the medieval2.exe, and rename it kingdoms.exe. (And make sure you're keeping the exe extension -- don't put ".exe" in the file name).
