![]() ![]() ![]() Warning: this means that if you happen to have installed RTW inside the program folders (for instance you have applied the default suggestion its installer comes up with) you will have to either make a back up of this install inside your preferred subfolder at your account, or you will have to re-install RTW to this location.Ģ) Turn OFF the UAC. So the path might look like.: "C:\Users\Admin" or "C:\Users\John Smith". Therefore the left-most part of your install destination should then read "C:\Users\", with being the name of your account. The correct root folder for any softwar that wishes to use/store settings from/to a separate file always begins with the adress of your User Account. There are two ways to circumvent this issue:ġ) Conform yourself to the security model: don't install softwar such as games in the C:\Program Files\ directory, or any of its subdirectories. Unfortunately the UAC prevents RTW from generating the file in the correct location, and more importantly: it appears to fail to point RTW to the modified location. As you probably guessed correctly by now, EB is fully modfoldered and therefore requires the possibility of generating, maintaining and reading its preferences from its own set of folders. This means that you can run multiple modfoldered mods on the basis of one RTW install and that you can run the basic RTW from the same location to boot. 'Modfoldered' means that the so-called architecture, or structure of the mod is designed/created to make the mod work from its own, separate 'mod' folder, rather than overwriting the basic RTW file structures. This may not affect RTW, but it does appear to prevent the so-called 'modfoldered' mods from running correctly, since they work with a separate preferences.txt file. ![]() One feature of the 'UAC' causes Windows Vista to override RTW (among other software) to store its preferences.txt file inside the AppData folder, which is a subfolder of your User Account. ![]() Note 2: if you use Windows Vista you may experience certain errors due to the security model Vista uses to protect your PC from possible threats. In which case step 4 refers to your clean RTW 1.5 build In other words: you have a version 1.5 of RTW that contains neither any traces of other mods, nor any modifications of your own. Note: step 1, 2 and 3 are optional, provided that you have a clean, that is unmodified copy of RTW, patched to 1.5. If you discover you need help at some stage, or run into trouble, or find bugs or other thechnical issues you experience: please take the time and effort to read two more threads: How to ask for help with a crash and: 1.2 Fixes you should try before posting (it's a sticky in this forum). (Note1 for instance deals with such kind of information).Īt all times, remember that this thread is for keeping the guide as sharp and to-the-point and complete as possible: it is not intended for individual cases, but the general case as a whole. Please take the time to read through the various notes list just below BEFORE reading the Guide, as not everything may apply, or may be required for each individual user. As requested I post this guide I wrote for another thread as a thread of its own - however, it's somewhat modified by now, if not extended. ![]()
