how to install on macintosh

Post by P-51 »

I got a friend who I keep telling to get his n33b arse back on EE but he has a macintosh now and he can't install EE or the lobby. Is there anyway to do this or are people fucked if they got macs?

I don't know what that means. Is that a common phrase that a mac user would know?

Pretty much. Here's an article by Apple on it, "Mac 101: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp": http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461

That's how I did it. But he still might have some problems with it. If not, let me know..

How do I get a copy of Windows 7. I currently have no windows computers and I dont have any EE disks. Is there any way to get EEAoC working on my mac. Do I have to buy windows/EE and EEAOC? Please list everything I will need to buy/do to get it working on my mac. I have an intel based mac running on 10.6.8 Max OS X

ebay -> sell mac
a store -> buy comp
piratebay -> windows 7
EE -> whisper me or download via rapidshare.

It's been mentioned before. You have to use Boot Camp to install Windows and then install EE on Windows. I would recommend reading the article Omega linked to (in addition to the FAQ linked at the end of the article). You will be able to switch between OSX and Windows.

You can buy an OEM copy of Windows (DVD format) online from someplace like Newegg or obtain it from some other methods (latest version of Boot Camp allows you to install Windows from an ISO image on a USB flash drive).

Finding EE & AoC on these forums should not be too hard. Just look in the right forum or do a quick search. If you can get Windows installed with EE & AoC, just load up the lobby and do an auto patch and you're ready to play.
