I put the cd in and start it up to try to install and it all goes well until it gets to the part where it says "there is a newer version of civ 4. Finding the latest new patch". It then stops and an error message comes up saying

"The patch failed to install. Aborting installation."

What do I do to get it to work?

thanks

i had the same thing.

what i had to do was to manually download the vanilla civ 4 1.74 patch from here and run that patch manually.

then i could do the install of BTS

Thanks i will try that

hey where do i go to find that patch, i have not found it yet

i just downloaded it and when i go to run it an error message comes up saying

"The setup has detected that version 1.09 of civ 4 is already installed. This setup is not compatible with this version. You will have to uninstall the previous version before installing this version."

What do i do?

Yaj! Solved it for me as well, thank you so much for the input kattana!

As for your last Q DRhodes, I'm sure a reinstall to Civ IV v.1.0 will work fine (i.e. with no previous patching as you have now to 1.09)

Can anyone confirm how many discs there are? I've moved a bunch of times and the only one I have is the one required to play, so I'm not sure how I can reinstall to get the expansion pack to work. Thoughts? Help? I don't want to have to shell out more $$ for something I already bought! Thank you!
