Conquests installed wrong music?

I just installed conquests, but can't start a new game (or load the COTM starting save). Here's the error:

I checked the folder, but there isn't an "Ancient" folder in there. There's a folder "Ancient Music" but the file it's looking for isn't in there either. Did I do something wrong on install?

(Also, I tried turning sound and music off, and it still gives me the error.)


EDIT: Ooohhhh, it's looking for that in the regular Civ3 folder. Only problem is, I got rid of those a while ago on my old old PC when I was cleaning up some hard drive space. But vanilla still runs fine without the files. Can conquests be "tricked out" to believe that the files are there if I just use replacement files? Is there a way to completely disable music so that it doesn't try looking for it at all? (Also, can someone please send me a filelist of all of the mp3s in the music folder of the regular civ3, so I can attempt to fake out the program?)
 
This isn't an "install" per say on this machine, it's been copied over from my previous machine, which was copied over from the prior one, etc...and I haven't seen my vanilla disc in about 2 years. (I "patched" it a while ago because I got tired of swapping discs, and put the disc away after that. Which, if you've seen my room....well, let's just say I'm not the most organised of people.)

So far I've replaced about 16 files, mostly in the diplo section. It doesn't seem to be looking for the music when all-sound is turned off, but 1) saved files(like the COTM start) don't use my saved settings and 2) diplomacy music seems to be an exception to this.

The main problem I'm having is that it's looking for the files in the first place, when I've got music turned off completely. I checked the ini file and there doesn't seem to be any setting in there for it, and they get wiped out every time I load up a saved file anyway. I think there's a file in one of the subfolders that's like a playlist of sorts, maybe I should try to find that and eliminate all of the entries.
