Please help! I lost stuff and cant find it.... lol

Hey I just want to start off by saying I think it might be a good thing that I am having the issue with my pc that I am having just cuz I found this place. Ok! Now that I have the a$$kissing out of the way, here is my issue

I am trying to update a game (RTW) from the 1.3 patch to the 1.5 patch. The patching for 1.3 went smooth. Now the issue I am having is the newest patch I am trying to install fails and said is can not locate rome.exe.. I have installed the game a few times and even in trying to sent the install to C:\programfiles\... rather than the one that has the (x85) in it it still uses both directory locations. I think the scripting for the patch program is looking for the .exe file in a predetermined location rather than searching or letting me point to it. Does anyone know of a way around this issue. This is not the first time I have come across this it is just the more resent. I would even be inclines to open the patch and rewrite the script to point to the correct location but I have no idea of how this would be done...

Did you reboot between 1.3 and 1.5? Do you need 1.4 to get that file for 1.5? The install file should have a space in Program Files. It could be a bad script. See if they fixed it.

as per thier wevsite there is no 1.4 or rather 1.5 takes care of 1.4. I'm not sure if I rebooted however. I will reinstall and try again. Any thoughts on the scripting being not so vista 64bit friendly?

Oh! Thanks for the fast re:!!!

ok I did the reinstall and rebooted the pc after the install, once again after the first patch and still get the same issue on the second patch. I found the patch on the official RTW website so I'm not sure what to try next. Thanks!
