Yeah, I was working with them on this, they credited my account for a purchase of Warlords, since there was nothing they could do, so problem solved.

The Warlords installer gives me the series of errors (patching, patch failed b/c of no civ IV detected, and patch aborted) The BTS installer searches for directx and other installed components and then it just stops. No error, no warning, just goes away. Update: BTS installer decided to work...

Yeah, it's not patched, b/c I can't install Warlords or BTS without the installer aborting due to it not being patched. D2D addressed that issue, saying you need to patch the game in order to install retail expansions.

I'm working on contacting them right now, as I just downloaded the game last night (I own the cd version, but lost disc one). They only offer patch 1.74 on the website. Have yo ever heard of this issue, where the patch uninstalls the game?
