Download the patch from the link above and install it yourself and see if works that way. Seems I may have read a few posts from others who had a problem installing it from in game.

Try manually. It wouldn't patch for me either, running civ complete on Vista. Manual patching works fine.

Umm when i click install after conferming the TOS it just closes the instal wizard and does nothing
this is manual AND in game

Doing it manually means not doing it in game. Download the patch from civfanatics here (the link is in the notices above). Run that installer and see if you have better luck.

The ingame patcher is notorious for not working properly so you'd best avoid it.

The game should not be running while you install the patch anyway.

I seem to be having the same exact issue, so i'm starting to believe its an unforseen error with this latest patch. It looks like its affecting people with digital copies of BTS and normal copies as well.

Any thoughts as of yet?

If you mean a digital copy as in Direct2Drive, then yes the patch won't work. You need to get it from them as they have a slightly modified version of the game. I suspect the same will be true of Steam.

Not until whoever you downloaded the game from releases their version of the patch.
