english version of wrlrds on chinese civ

[laurencecom]

When I try to install warlords on top of the chinese version of civ4 I get this message:

There is a newer of civ 4 available. The latest patch will now be installed.

Then , when I click OK, and wait a little, then I see:

The setup has detected that version 1.72.000000 has already been installed.

This setup installs an earlier version of Sid Meier's Civilization 4(1.61).

You will have to uninstall the previous version before installing this version.

But after continuing, it says:

The patch failed to install! Aborting installation.

any help is appreciated. thank you.

Welcome to CFC
do you have beyond the sword as well? did you ever patch Civ4 yourself?

 

[laurencecom]

no I don't have BTS, and I dont patch it myself

You could try doing what it says, i.e. uninstall Civ4, reinstall it, patch it to 1.61 yourself (download 1.61 from this site) - then install Warlords...
Why it has a different version to start out though is weird...
