Nope, works fine in an XP machine... Any more wild blind stabs by the uninformed?

Thanks for the report. But if the take away is "it just doesn't work, but maybe Civ 5 will" they are smoking something if they think they will ever sell me software again...

4 days, 72 views, a dozen threads more recent - and not one word of response to my question? Really pathetic, folks...

In my experience, the Windows 7 uninstall never actually gets everything when it comes to anything civ. I have repeatedly gotten advice on the subject that is entirely off base and fails to acknowledge how buggy and broken the whole thing is. Which is extremely annoying, BTW.

Gentlemen: I am hoping someone here has encountered this issue before and knows how to work around it. Googling has not found this exact issue and none of the vanilla fixes others suggest (e.g. "run as administrator") have anything to do with it or help. First understand I am running...

Also, if it matters, I can install Civ IV:Colonization fine and play it, so system specs aren't the issue...

More details - The error "details" sections gives - Error Code: -5011 : 0x8000ffff Error Information: >Kernel\ObjectWrapper.cpp (498) >Kernel\IScriptWrapper.cpp (81) >Kernel\ObjectWrapper.cpp (197) >Kernel\IScriptWrapper.cpp (81) >SetupNew\SetupDLL.cpp (510) PAPP:Sid Meier's...

I am having a similar problem. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, as an upgrade from Vista. I am trying to install Civ 4 (basic, no patches etc) from the CDs. First one reads fine, I get to the part about needing disk 2. I insert disk 2 and press OK, and I get the message "Setup.exe has...

By the way, the install went fine, no hitches. It is only at the play stage that the game doesn't recognize the CD as an original. (It has never been used before on any other machine, just bought, legit shrink wrapped game & disk, etc etc). I've got a young civ fan with a Mac who can't run...

Thanks for the report, I've been trying to get a colonization install to work in parallels but hit an error reading from an external CD/Rom. It thinks it isn't an original disk in the drive, when it is. The rest of the error message just says to ensure the device is using DMA if available...
