Hello everyone, I am posting here after trying *desperately* to get this mod to work. I've scoured every single post and thread I could find, trying various described tactics to get this thing to work to no avail. To preface, I am on Windows 7 with the game completely updated with the latest patch.
Here's what I am doing and please point me to any errors that you see:
1. With WinRAR, I extract the SEE file into C:\ (as suggested by a few people here).
2. I extract the BFME2 - Special Extended Edition.Ink file to my desktop.
3. I open the properties of the above file listed in #2 and change the Target to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth II\lotrbfme2.exe" -mod "C:\SEE"
4. I change the Start In to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Battle for Middle-earth II
It is here at step 4, after changing the Target and Start In, that I get an error message saying, quote:
"The name 'C:\Program' specified in the Target box in not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
I've tried various things to fix this, such as downloading the SEE file into:
C:\Users\Travis\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth II Files
But wasn't sure how to go about editing the paths within the Properties of the shortcut to reflect this, since seemingly all of the instructions given by random users here are incomplete or are not explained well.
A long time ago I had this mod working on another computer and enjoyed it sooo much! Now after returning to the game, I would really really love to get this mod working on this computer.
I appreciate all the hard work that went into this mod and I'm looking forward to a clear, helpful response to this post!
Thanks a ton!
