I’ve been playing it for years and years, all the way back to my old XP machine circa 2006. 10+ years is a pretty good run for a game. And it still looks and plays great.
However, I just tried to re-install it on my Windows 10 HTPC / Gaming machine and was met with frustration. After digging around on various message boards and piecing together solutions I got it to work.
So, here it is, a simple step by step procedure to getting Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II (LOTRBFME2) to work on your windows 10 machine.
- Mount & Install like normal
- Set the Compatibility mode to run in XP Service Pack 3 (right click the shortcut and make the change in the Compatibility tab)
- Set the preference to run the program as Administrator in the same tab
- Press Okay
- Go to c:users[username]AppDataRoamingMy Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files (this will most likely be empty)
- Click ‘View’ on the windows explorer menu
7. Choose to “Show File Extensions”
8. Right click in the directory and choose “New” and choose Text Document - In the document add these lines:

NOTE: You can download this file and copy it into the My Battle for Middle Earth directory and save yourself steps 6 – 11 above.

Now just run the file off your desktop. If you get a pop up asking if you want to all the exe to make changes to your system, just say yes. That’s because it’s running in Admin mode.
