One of the files on the Swedish cd is broken

Basically you had to copy half the cd to a temp dir, add a working copy of said file, and install from there.
I just can't for my life find the thread that said this, nor where the file is supposed to be.
I erased my harddrive recently, so I wanted it too. Luckily I found the file in a backup, so I could send it to you if it doesn't surface around here somewhere, although I guess one should ask for it to be put in downloads section.

Scandinavian EU2 installation problem (setup.inx)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a compatibility issue with some CD readers and the copy protection.

You can download a working file here: http://www.paradoxplaza.com/files/patches/setup_inx.zip

Try to copy the whole installation to the hd and install from there. Put the downloaded setup.inx in the same folder and off you go. I just tested it and it works like a charm.

Don't copy the *.vpp files though

If you choose to make a custom installation and play music from the CD you will have to edit the music.ini file after installation. Just change as follows:

####My installation####

[Common]
music=c:\Program Files\Europa Universalis 2\MUSIC

####Change to####

[Common]
music=X:\MUSIC

Where X is the drive letter for your CD rom drive. After that you can delete all the installation files you copied manually from the CD.

I guess I was put off by the extremely long 1st post that had nothing to dp with my problems, added to the fact that the file is not visible when you go to downloads via task bar at top of page, to the area where all other patches are. If US can get a fix for scenario editor there I was hoping that SE could get a fix for install at an equally obvious place.

Thank you for your help.
