Has it been upload to Moddb as well? Because I'll make a news post if it is.

I have a problem when i installed the mod I created a copy of both of the game folders just in case something went wrong and i cannot start the game it just takes me back to the original game itself.
P.S. I run this on Windows 7-32 bit on a laptop

i do and it still takes me to the vanilla game....Do you use the correct shortcut that comes when you install the mod?
i also tried matias's way and it still does this
as well as moving the TPW.big file into the main copied folder and it gives me this error
Expected signed integer value, math op, or predefined macro, but found 'SPARTA_BATTLETOWER_BUILDCOST'
Error parsing field 'BuildCost' in block 'Object' in file
'data\ini\object\civilian\greek_tower.ini', line 98

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.
if someone could give me instructions on how to fix this i will be quite thankful

Do you have any other mods installed directly in the BFME2 installation folder?
At any rate, I would suggest this path;
- Uninstall the mod and the game
- Delete the BFME2 folder
- Install the game
- Patch it to 1.06 (latest)
- Install the mod
- Play it with the shortcut.

Are you using a No-CD crack to play the game? I cannot confirm it, but I've heard that using a modified game.dat can cause compatibility issues with some mods.

It's possible that is what is causing your problem. You could try finding a mini-image instead, and see if it works using the original game.dat and the mini image (still requires a re-install, unless you backed up the original game.dat)

Even as a mapper I constantly have to reinstall my game, but from the CD's. I am a retro-junkie when it comes to CDs, must not scratch and they have their own space in my bookshelves.
I wonder how many times a proper modder has to reinstall, or is it just me who stuffs up the game internally all the time?

As I said, I suggest you reinstall BFME2 and then patch it to 1.06, then install the mod. There might be a problem in your files. If you don't want to do that, then I can't really help you. You use the shortcut provided, so I don't see where the error could be.
Well, there is one more thing; Copy your BFME2 shortcut (the normal one), and Right Click, then Properties. Now, in the Target line, add this at the end:
-mod TPW.big
So if should look somewhat like this (this is mine);
"D:\Games\The Battle for Middle-earth ™ II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod TPW.big
It's important that you place it after the "
If it doesn't work now, well..

I use a cracked game.dat because my disc was lost, works fine for me.

I know that is not always the case, but I have a no-cd crack lying around somewhere for when I'm too lazy to put my disk in, and one time I recall it making me unable to play certain mods.
