I had this problem, and finally figured out how to get the folder to be created:

After completing the step 1 (installing BFME2) I right clicked on the game shortcut that was created – followed the advice of Peter:
**Compatibility settings:** Run the game in **Windows Vista SP2 mode**

Once I tried running the game from that shortcut (it failed to run but created the folder)

Now complete the steps and the game has worked for me!
(Using WinCDEmu – Daemon tools didn’t work)
(Using WinRAR to extract for the first step – because the basic windows extraction failed)

Hope this helps!

I had not been able to using the windows default, then using WinRar worked

Do NOT run as Administrator.

**Virtual CD workaround:** Mount the game discs with **WinCDEmu** so they remain permanently mounted, even after reboot.

**options.ini in AppData:** Place a working config at:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files\options.ini

Use this content:
[…paste the ini above…]

**Folder names:** Confirm your %appdata% folders are named:
– My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files
– My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files (if using the expansion)
