    You have the Kingdoms expansion for M2TW installed?

    Presuming you have it (a must), I can point at Gigantus guide concerning the .exe-matter here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...and-other-Info

    So long as you bought Medieval 2 on Steam, it should come with the Kingdoms expansion by default right? Since CA recently changed it to Total War Medieval 2 Definitive Edition.

    Indeed. It's a simple matter of copypasting medieval2.exe and renaming it to kingdoms

    What if someone had already copied & changed the name of the .exe file?

    Then you shouldn't get the "kingdoms.exe cannot be found" error. It must be something wrong with how the mod is installed, perhaps the files haven't been put in the right place

    IPBlanton, I hope you got your issue sorted, sorry to hijack your thread but its a matter of convenience & you may learn sumfin' if you haven't gotten it fixed by now.

    God Kveld Kung Athelstan!

    So I uninstalled and I'm currently downloading MedII again (lucky I'm working from home today). I remember having problems running a mod years ago with SS 6.2 I think it was but there wasn't the resources & videos to troubleshoot mods that there are today.

    Once MedII is done downloading I don't need to download all the mods again do I? It's a blank slate as long as I downloaded and installed the mods ( Third Age 3.0 part One and Part Two, Third Age 3.2 patch) & sub mods ( Divide & conquer 2.1 Part One & Part Two, DaCV2.2) correctly, right? Mainly run as administrator and install them in the correct folders, right?

    That should be about it yes. You shouldn't need to redownload the mods, only install them into the correct folders. I do recommend you follow the provided instructions etc too of course. Good luck!
