Installing EE for NeoEE and GameRanger - Fixed
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2013 8:44 pm
This is a guide on how I installed EE so I can play on both NeoEE and on GR. When installing on my own computers, and helping tons of others, I find this to be the safest way, with the least problems. I'm also trying to make it as simple as possible. Therefor, in some situations where there is options, I do the simplest route.
In this guide you'll be given links to download all you need. You will install Empire Earth for NeoEE and GR. You will also install a clean EE to prevent many errors. You'll set up your GR so it opens the right EE (RC 2.2). As well as fixing the short cuts.
***NOTE*** If you already have EE working for GR: START from "Installing EE again on your computer".
