Civ4 Complete install issue..cant get to other editions

[downtown]

Running Windows Vista. Installed the Civ4 Complete edition, but no shortcut was created on my desktop, nor is there a Fraxis folder on my start menu.

I can run the game from the autoplay, but it only loads the colonies expansion...which quite frankly, is not interesting to me. I want to play the regular game.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It doesn't seem to create the shortcuts under Vista so you're not the only one with this problem. It is there though.

Some people find the other games listed in the games folder (on the right hand side of the start menu). Others have to search the hard drive to find the folder it was installed to and create their own shortcuts. You may find it simply installed under "program files\firaxis games\..." (mine is), or you may find it has installed to "<Logon Name>\AppData\Roaming\..." where <Logon Name> is your login on the PC. AppData is a hidden folder so you will have to make sure that you have got windows explorer to show hidden files or folders or you will not find it. I'm afraid it's just a question of searching to find out where it has been installed on your computer.

I finally found it.

Thanks for your help Furiey!
