Civ4 BTS v3.19 Patch

For some reason, when I bought Civ4 Complete, I tried to patch BtS to 3.19. It would cut off in the middle of installation, and the Task Manager wouldn't let me do anything about it, and in fact, close the window! I then patched it to 3.17 (don't know why, it came as 3.17) and then tried patching it to 3.19 and that worked! Guess that's something to bear in mind when dealing with Complete! lol

Is it a way to install the patch without using the execute ? Because the execute tells me that BtS is not installed properly and I don't want to reinstall the whole BtS.
Thanks,

No it is because I did a backup of BtS folders and only past it on my new computer without reinstalling BtS. I guess I will have to find my CDs.

I don't think this is true. Yes, you need the registry to patch the game as that's how it knows where to look, but not to play it. That's fairly typical of most programs. It gets the install location when you launch the game from its process (Windows), and it can find your My Games / BTS folder through Windows APIs. The version information is embedded in the application itself.

hi everyone,
ive made a makefile for 3.19,
ive tested it and it works (use only final release).
***edit - dont forget to change the sdk folder in the file.
You should make a "sticky topic" of your file !!
Alot of 3.19 modders are gonna need it...like I did
Awesomme, thatnks for finding out!
That is English! Honestly, you colonialsWhat is the English translation of "silly buggers"?
It roughly translates as "silly fools", though strictly speaking of course, "buggery" is the act of sodomy.

I think that was actually an American translation!

Maybe if we get a 3.21 patch, Firaxis can disable the in-game patch, since it doesn't work.
Buggers and Frig/Friggers/Frig-off were common here in NS for the youngin's to use as alternate expletives without getting a smack upside the head by elders ;-) Course I do recall one particular Social Studies prof (Grade 9) getting particularly worked up over "frig-off". Granted I didn't really know one of its other meanings at the time.

I've never understood why people say it's broken - I've never had any issues with it. Maybe it's because I install the patch the nanosecond I find out a new one is here, or perhaps Vista is blocking civ from launching the patch program when it closes.

@deanej, I've never used the in-game patcher, as I prefer to know where stuff is going for archival purposes - and easier just to put it there to start with.
I have seen many people register here just to ask about problems with the in-game patcher. So I can't say from personal experience anyways.

They download to the Patch folder in My Games\Beyond the Sword, so it's probably there if the updater fails after download (unless it gets copied over later, but I don't see why it would download it somewhere only to move it later). When I need to reinstall I just use that.
Sorry in advance if this is been discussed already. This thread is quite long now.
Is it worth backing up some of the BTS game files (and if so, which ones) before applying the patch, just in case something goes wrong, or I find the lack of overflow gold too annoying, or I want to play a game that someone has posted with 3.17?
Thanks all.

couldn't you just reload 3.17?
