Install problem, fixes not working (Windows 7)

[RumpNissen]

I have Windows 7 (much to my dissmay) and decided to install Civ IV once more after a long brake from it. Now however whenever I try installing it, it gives me that "Error Code: -5009 : 0x8000ffff".

I spent hours trying to fix this and just like it sais on this link: http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_install.htm
I've tried deleting the Temp content and the Installshield files. Nothing have changed however, it gives me the same error everytime.

Anything I'm missing, or is it Windows 7 being the eternal d**k?

Are you running the setup file by right clicking on it and choosing run as administrator? You'll need to do that with W7 so if you haven't tried it do so.

yes, I've always done that. That error shows up no matter what

Got a brand new pc with win7 home premium 64 bit, (CPU i5 dual core). Last night I installed civ IV from the latest edition (complete edition). no error message. check your pc

(But then I tried to install patch 3.19. It downloaded but didnt seem to work. Giving it a new try this evening, but is it a common problem with that patch and win7?)

(maybe not helpful answer, but that's what I can tell).
