A while back I tried uninstalling civ 4 vanilla, I had an error I paid no attention to but for all intents and purposes freed up the memory associated with the game. No big deal at the time but now, several months later, I try installing Civ 4 to find that I cannot get the game to install. Thinking the game is still installed somehow I get the following error when I use the control panel to attempt to uninstall the program (which is still listed).
What I find odd is that I have no option to install the game. For some reason when I insert the disc "Play" is an option instead of "Install" like I would have expected.
I can't think of anything else to add but if anyone has any idea on how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. I'm tempted to just go through the registry and try to hunt down any entries that are involved with civ 4 and delete them, unfortunately I am dangerously uninformed about that sort of task.
***Edit: Found problem, had a metric f*ckton of registry errors from when I transferred files over to my new computer. Everything appears to be working now. I recommend registry cleaner for anyone facing similar problems.
- When I try to uninstall the program the error above is what I see.
- When I insert disc 1 to try to play I receive an error saying Civ 4 has stopped working and refers me to a windows update page
- I can find what appears to be several game files in the firaxis folder
- BoT installs just fine and can attempt to start up, however I get more XML errors than I can possibly count.
