I'm trying to install the mod, but I'm running into issues around everything in the Program Files folders needing administrator permission and being read-only by default. I think I've worked it all out, but I keep running into a problem; when I run setup.bat (as administrator; if it's not that, then it says access to the tbb.dll files is denied), I get an error message saying that Assets\CvGameCoreDLL.dll is missing. However, I checked the Assets folder for the mod and the main game, and there's a CvGameCoreDLL.dll file in both. I'm not sure why the setup can't find it.
 
If Setup.bat fails due to a permission issue, then you can copy the files manually. In the mod, there is a folder called "Copy to Colonization.exe". Open that one and copy both files (tbb.dll and tbbmalloc.dll) into the main game directory (the one with Colonization.exe". The error message is because the game can't tell the difference between a missing CvGameCoreDLL.dll or missing tbb.dll.
 
Those dlls are in the main game directory, and I think setup.bat can recognize them, since when it's not run as administrator, it can find them, just not access them. The problem is that it thinks the CvGameCoreDLL is missing.
