Can anyone tell - GOG version include World Editor? If not, how to find it? I have one, but only german version, and looking for english.
With it there are possible to create maps with a bit more size and islands than standart maps.

It can be downloaded here: http://anno.de.ubi.com/downloads.php#patches
However, you need to do some registry editing to install. Do this on your own account!!!!

I just did it like this:
Export the key for your GOG uninstall of Anno1404, yours might be slightly different:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\1440426004_is1
Open the exported .reg file in a text editor and exchange the key name with:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{3D9CF3CA-3AB 0-4A82-985 3-D7C43FD1D775}]
"Inno Setup: Setup Version"="5.5.5 (u)"
...
Double click your edited .reg file and add it to the registry. After that the install went fine.

p.s. still you need a tool to browse/extract the rda files if you want to edit the original data and none I found work (the gui crashes or won't open). New maps are ok.

Thank you, I found that export
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\1440426004_is1
need for 2 keys:
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{3D9CF3CA-3AB0-4A82-9853-D7C43FD1D775}
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{6A09EC92-016B-4032-8CF1-6840B20C254A}
So, there is editor for main game and for addon, yuhooo )

For RDA files I use tool "anno 1404 RDA explorer" (can't post links here yet)

Thanks for the information.

I have tried that and although it allowed the installer to run, the tools were not actually installed - the shortcuts pointed to dead ends and the tools were not placed in the Anno 1404 Gold Edition/tools directory.

However, I got it working by making the following changes to the register:

1. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Anno 1404

2. Create a new key called GameUpdate, like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Anno 1404\GameUpdate

3. Select the GameUpdate key and create two new string values (type REG_SZ):

NAME = execpath VALUE = The complete path to the anno4 executable file
EXAMPLE -> X:\anno_install_folder\anno4.exe

NAME = installdir VALUE = The complete path to the folder in which Anno4.exe resides
EXAMPLE -> X:\anno_install\folder

After adding the entries above and running the editor installer again (after removing the faulty install, naturally) both ToolOne.exe and WorldEditor2.exe (with their respective .bat files) were correctly installed in the anno 1404 Gold Edition/tools directory.

Just thought I'd add this information in case someone else is facing the same problem.
