The installer searches your registry for the correct install location (but has to do some tricks that might fail because of a install text string missing in the registry).
It will check if this (or your manual selection) points it to the correct install location. If it reports the error "There is no SE4 executable in the target directory. Continue anyway? Yes? No?" then your have point it most likely NOT to the correct location and TDM will not install correctly.

Yeah, I understand that. I just look in the folder and see where the exe is and change the install path so it point there. But the strange thing is it still gives me that error message (though the game is playable).

TDM is supposed to reside under [Space Empires Main Folder]\TDM and you have to point it to the folder where the SE4.exe is located, i.e. [Space Empires Main Folder], not a submenu of the main folder! The installer will create a subdirectory on its own and install to the correct location if you point it to the location the SE4.exe is.

Yep, this is what I've done but as stated above I still get that odd message.

Are you sure that you have pointed the installer to the correct Space Empires folder? To which location did you install TDM? When you start SE4 with TDM, does the intro screen tell you that you are using TDM?

It installs and then I use Matryx to launch and it all shows up properly. But what I've been wondering is if the initial install problems are what subsequently causes the crashes I've been getting.
Anyway, I'm going to do what another poster recommended here and use the RAR files. I think it must have something to do with that particular file (although it comes from the TDM link in the FAQ on this board so you would think it would be safe/OK).
