Alright, I just wish the installation instructions we're more clear. Someone please confirm a couple steps here. After installing the client, do we A) Patch the e&b.exe found in the root as in my case D:\Games\Earth & Beyond\e&b.exe, or Patch the d:\Games\Earth & Beyond\release\client.exe?
Either way the launcher is being stubborn and despite the fact that the launcher shows D:\Games\Earth & Beyond\e&b.exe. It wants to d/l all these files and folders to D:\Games\data etc and not D:\Games\Earth & Beyond\corresponding sub folders etc.
Something seems amiss here, thank you in advance.
**UPDATE**
Ok the first time the launcher runs there is a skip button enabled which would allow me to change paths, I had to dig and now see what path the launcher wants.
Now, after I patch the launcher, the launcher restarts, and immediately wants to download client patches. However I now CANNOT change paths and the launcher always reverts to the e&b.exe and not the \release\client.exe. I'm going bonkers, re-installing everything over and over, rebooting, etc and cannot get the darn thing to patch to the correct directories.
