Bob Lion54 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm not sure if I can help because I have the "normal" game but a friend of mine has the "Best of" on her computer. At least I can tell you why its not working. With the normal game, it will install in the directory "Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War." However, for some reason the "Best of" collection installs the game under the directory "Program Files\LucasArts\games\Star Wars Empire at War." (Possibly because there is more than one game per DVD or whatever... I'm really not sure.) I think its "games", I can't check at the moment, though. Regardless, there is an extra folder. You could try cutting the EAW folder out of the "games" folder and pasting it directly in the "Program Files\LucasArts" folder so it would be "normal." I haven't tried this myself, so I don't know what side effects it might cause. Thats the only thing I can think of... Anyway, I hope that helps.
