Trial_Born is correct. MAke sure your Mods folder and the batch file are in the same folder that contain the swfoc.exe. The thing where it pops up and disappears means the batch file isn't finding the exe.

To uninstall the mod you could just delete the Imperial_Civil_War folder. But as an idea to fix it, when you go inside of the Imperial Civil War folder does it look something like this

C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War

The error message you posted makes me think you might've installed it in the EaW folder that doesn't contain the Swfoc.exe. I have a rather old physical copy of the Gold Edition, complete with dust and all, which gave me 2 separate folders when I installed it (EaW and FoC) so I'm not sure how your folder is set up since you say your variant is named Empire At War Gold.

I have installed the game into a different directory (Computer/D:/Games/Star Wars - Empire At War Gold), then used the mod installer and set the destination to that folder. It appears to have installed correctly (making a Mods folder, batch file in the directory, etc). Yet when I try to start the mod, a cmd window flashes up and disappears right away (so I can't read what it says) and nothing happens. I tested the vanilla game and it runs just fine.

When I try to uninstall the mod, nothing happens when I double click the uninstaller. My pointer does a brief loading spin, but no window pops up. Even when I try to uninstall through the control panel, the same thing happens, so I can't uninstall the mod.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I manage to grab a screenshot of the message: D:\Games\Star Wars - Empire At War Gold>swfoc MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War 'swfoc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. This is odd because in my previous attempts, the mod wouldn't start because a binkw32.dll file was missing. When I reinstalled, I also installed the RAM fix (as suggested in other threads), which is when this problem came up.
