Check the paths to make sure the vanilla game references are correct, e.g. I think Morgoth put 2 instead of II somewhere.

[Eldarion25]

Ya, I already checked that, and it's II, not 2. It still isn't working, though

Worked for me quite awhile ago.

I have a problem. Before installing, it says that it is recommended that I should extract all the files before running the installer. Well, when I did that, the extraction ended suddenly and I couldn't get it to extract any more of the files. I thought that it extracted all of the files; however, when I checked it out, there were only two things there: the readme on how to install and the credits. What is going on with this?! There seems to be no .big file anywhere!

And again. REDOWNLOAD.

[LordVoltimas]

Thanks, Ringy! It works. I must admit that I sort of doubted that redownloading would work...but it works! Thanks again!

Great! Now I have a new problem! I made and changed the shortcut like you said, but when I click "apply", it says that the path is not correct. What should I do?

Maybe you put -mod a little bit longer or too short to "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king\lotrbfme2ep1.exe" for example.

I didn't have that mod anymore..if i have i will put my path here.

[LordVoltimas]

Well, I put a space between exe. and -mod. As I start it, it says: "You must run the game from its install directory."

If I put no space, the shortcut doesn't work. You know, this is weirding me out!

[Dant]

Weird it never said "You must run the game from its install directory." to me maybe you should try but .big file in where you install you game..i try it before with Edain mod and it work.

[LordVoltimas]

Still, I put the .big file in The Battle for Middle-earth II main directory and I changed the shortcut to hit the .big file in the main directory. It still says that the path is not valid.

I did this, like the install readme said:

3. Press with the right button on this shortcut and then click on "properties".
4. At the end of the "destiny" field write this: -mod l4e.big. That's how it has to look(more or less):

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-Earth II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod l4e.big

5. Use the shortcut.

That path is exactly the path that I put down and it said that that path was not valid.

[LordVoltimas]

Hey, do you put quotes around the -mod l4e.big by any chance?

[LordVoltimas]

Well, good news...I finally did it! Although, now the game game crashes on me. I guess I have to find the latest patch.

[Dant]

Congratulation!

P.S lol you need lasted patch for all mod

[LordVoltimas]

Is the latest patch 1.06 by any chance? Well, that one is only a document saying about the supposed changes...only those changes I can't find! I don't know what it is with me lately!

[Dant]

Sorry. What I ment was that when I download and install the patch, there is only a readme telling me what is in the patch, see? That's very annoying! Anyway, sorry for not being clear about that.

[LordVoltimas]

Thanks for the link, but in order to download the file, I have to sign into the website forum. I can't do that. Well, thanks anyway.
