When the installer previews the install directory, make sure that the path is correct.
The install directory depends on where you have installed Empire Total War.

Im trying to install 3.4 Brothers VS Brother, but I need to uninstall the 2.6 version first. How do I do that?
A clean reinstall of ETW is probably the easiest if you had other mods installed before.
what version of empire do i need to play this mod?
i cant download the mod..please help
Well, Empire is suppose to update itself automatically by Steam. Also, do you still have the downloading problem?

My game crashes when I start it I don't know whats wrong
Probably a bad install, some other mods installed or Steam trouble.
My game crashes whenever I get a couple minutes into a battle - I have 3.4, but can't get 3.4.1 to install. I don't have Warpath Expansion for Empire.
need warpath to play later versons of the mod .-. I have seen this one works so its best you dont update till you ge warpath.

Will the installation of this mod overwrite or change any of the original game files? Do I need to back up any files before I install it? Just want to make sure I can easily get back to the original game if needed. Thanks!
Whenever I start a battle, the game crashes about 10 seconds into loading the battle every time. For the first week of playing I did not have this problem. I have no other mods installed. Please help.

Can I play this mod without any Empire expansions (such as Warpaths)? And, if this was installed, would I be able to play the vanilla game without any issues?

Hey - I've installed the base mod, the music pack and the patch. I just bought a new laptop today and unlike my last one it is Windows 8. I installed it in the same way but it won't work on my new laptop. Is this a Windows 8 issue?
I can get the opening screen up (the load bars and the two presidents and choosing which side but when I click to choose the side I get the following message;
'Error: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)
Stack Traceback:
1:[Page1 -> Button2 -> On Click] Line: 227 in main chunk'
Is there anyone with a better idea of computer program talk than me who can tell me what this means and how to solve whatever problem is causing it. REALLY want to play this mod and the 3.5 version when it's finished.

I have windows 8.1 and its giving me the same problems
It only downloads at liek 5 kb per second. If you know how to fix it i would appreciat is (sorry for erorrs this isnt my first language)
You need to get faster Internet, or ask ModDB.
ACW team has no influence on ModDB's download speeds.

Try reinstalling.

Try reinstalling. Don't use other mods at the same time.

Does this work with windows 8?
If Empire:Total War does, then so should this.

Same guest as above ^ Even when I go to programs and find the file to uninstall, nothing happens.
You could just delete the ACW subfolder in ETW install...
