Okay, so I followed the steps, but by Step 5 I ran into problems. I first set up my executable, which I am pretty sure is correct. But, I was confused by Step 6, as I couldn't figure out how to update the game. But, I also could not find the files that the executable pointed to, I looked through my Mac but while there was a file named Program Files, I could not find a file named 2K Games, and couldn't find any files after. But, the weird thing is that my civ4bts319 app, when I press it actually loads the game in windows, but I can't find the files for that either. So, right now I can't find my files and that I fear I might have botched the download somewhere. Then, when I tried to do a test run through Wineskin Advanced it gave me two logs, and one of them said
fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)
fixme:msgack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet
fixme:msgack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet
Note: Those faces are supposed to be colons, I don't know what happened there
So, any help you could give me is appreciated greatly
don't use any special characters in your folder names, especially $ dollar signs. see here but don't worry about the fixme stuff if the game is running adequately.__________________
Okay, I was messing around trying to get it to work and now I get a new message
fixme:file:GetLongPathNameW UNC pathname L"\\\\?\\unix\\Users\\[Name of User]\\Downloads\\Civ4BeyondTheSwordPatch3.19.exe"
Anyone know what this means?
update: you need to update your wrapper to version 2.5.8 if you update mountain lion to 10.8.2.
is this the screen you are seeing:... the next screen is the wineskin four options screen.
Any ideas as to why this is not working?
is this the screen you are seeing:
that should be the first thing you see when you launch the civ4bts319.app. when you get there, click on install software (the topmost choice) and then navigate to the setup.exe file on the DVD.
also mentioned that you couldn't find the updater. the link is at:

if you have more problems, tell me which step it holding things up.
z0wb13 are you able to answer my questions?
the reason you don't get an option for the colonization install is that comes on the gold edition dvd, and not on the complete dvd.
opps!
No new executables found!
Maybe the installer failed...?
If you tried to install somewhere other than c: Drive.... I think you probably know the rest?
...
(I) was able to install but... i cannot open again unless i reinstall the wrapper again.
I did not try to install anywhere other than what is already there...in other words i did not change the install info so it should be trying to install to c: Right?
I appreciate your help and apologise if I am somehow making ridiculous mistakes.
