I just bought a new copy of Civ 4, the normal vanilla edition. It came on a single DVD. Installs just fine, everything works. I am running it on a Windows XP machine.
I cannot update it to patch 1.74 however, and I also can not install BTS.
When I try to install the patch I get this notice:
"The setup has detected that no version of Sid Meier's civilization is installed.
This update requires that a previous version be installed."
When I try to install BTS it tells me there is a patch for Civ 4, tries to install it, then fails and terminates.
The game's read-me file states that it is version 161 and lists the changes.
Within the game's "About this Build" section it states:
Civ Version: 162
Save Version: 1
Build Version: 1.6.2.1 (0)
Build Date: Fri Jun 09 13:09:23 2006
Build: Final Release
Mod Name: None
I downloaded the 1.74 patch from this website and from the official site as well, neither worked. I placed the patches on the desktop, in the program files, in the firaxis folder, in the civ 4 folder, and in the patches folder, none of those locations helped it to find the installed version. I also tried this with the previous patches as well, 161 and 109.
I deleted the Installshield file - reinstalled. No difference.
Any idea what I need to do to get this working? I would really appreciate some help as I've spent many hours trying to figure it out.
