Civilization Complete: Only Colonization?

[Tarkanos]

I am having a number of problems with my Civilization IV Complete.
System information:
I have a very up to date computer, hardware wise. Well beyond the minimum requirements. I'm running 64 Bit Windows Vista Home Premium.
I took some time to install Civilization IV and when I first played it, I didn't notice this was abnormal. It immediately loads Colonization when I pop the CD in. There's no options, just "Play Now". I've looked through some online helps and tried to locate where it is installed on my harddrive, but the only record of it I can find is in My Documents/My Games/Civilization4, which only contains records and save games. No .exe files or anything. When looking at the CD drive, it has only Colonization on it as a folder. And no uninstall either. It appears to have only installed two parts, Civilization IV and Colonization. But I can't even play the former. Any ideas?

Welcome to CFC!

Complete often does not install the desktop icon for the other games and you have to create your own from the .exe files.

It is usually installed in program files on my 32 bit Vista is is under program files\firaxis games\sid meier's civilization 4. Warlords and BTS are in subfolders.

You may also find it in your start menu under all programs.

Once you have found it you can create your own shortcuts.

Close. I looked through Program files again and noticed an unfamiliar folder with Firaxis Games in it. 64 bit Vista installs it in 2kGames/Firaxis Games and then two different folders, Colonization and Complete. Thanks for the help.
