I just installed BTS with the Dawn of Civilization mod on my Windows 8 laptop. When I started a game with Harrappas it kept showing "failed to load BUG INI" something. This message kept flooding my screen. Whats the problem exactly and how to fix it ?

Same situation as the other guy (new computer, "BUG INI" errors up the wazoo once I start DOC on the new machine).
Under the "Firaxis > Sid Meier's Civilization 4 > Beyond the Sword > Mods > RFC Dawn of Civilization," I right-clicked and opened up "Properties."
At the bottom of the "General" tab, there's a pre-checked box for "Attributes" that's called "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)". If you de-select the box (so the folder would not be read-only) and hit "Apply", you're asked to "Confirm Attribute Change" (apply to all files and subfolders) and "Continue with Administrator Privileges." Hit yes to both, a dialog box pops up that runs through all the files in the mod, problem solved.
Except no, it isn't, because if I exit out of the "Properties" window then right-click and open "Properties" again, the "Read-Only" box is still selected. What gives? Do I need to reboot my machine to make the changes effective, or is there something else I'm missing here?

I fixed the problem by right clicking the file and changing permissions. I am using a Windows 8 laptop. The right click dialogue box allows me to change/edit permissions, that's how I managed to get that done. Its working fine now.

standard BtS works fine? If yes - just reinstall the Mod
Standard BtS works fine. I've installed and reinstalled in the mod several times, including a complete reinstall of Civ4. I always the same error message.
At first I tried using the install version. Today, I've been trying to get just the core version installed using the rar files and still no luck. Is there any place where they are directions for how to install this mod with the steam version of bts? I've searched this site and haven't had any luck. I'd really appreciate any help.

Oi, Leoreth, you really should add that whole Beta thingy for Steam users in the main thread.
I'm not familiar with the steam version of the game, so I cannot reliably reply. Can anyone else with that distribution help out?
Also, if you reinstalled the game, make sure that it is on version 3.19. Patching it that point requires downloading the update from CFC, if it doesn't come with it out of the box.
Beta thing?

Alright, let me repeat myself because apparently you didn't pay attention the first time I wrote a post about this here:
The proper Steam version of Civ4 since the demise of Gamespy is not 3.19 but a separate version instead, which has the upside of keeping live multiplayer enabled. It has the downsites of making PBEM and Pitboss impossible and apparently also not meshing well with mods. I don't have the Steam version myself, but over in the PBEM forum we had a week or two of chaos until this issue was addressed by Steam starting to offer 3.19 BtS proper via its Beta feature. Basically people with Civ4BtS have the game twice in their games library, the "official" version and right below that the same title but with "Beta" next to it, which in this case is BtS 3.19. I am reasonably sure that Steam players just need to download the Beta version and install any mods they want for that.
