i think its called macromedia but anyway. it casks me to install this before i install the game and I do but when i then try to install the game it keeps asking me to first install this other thing. I have Windows ME and it has all recommended specs
Problem installing regarding Macromedia
- Thread starter civiloser
- Start date
You'll have to be a bit more specific.
Macromedia is the name of a company (now part of Adobe) not software. If indeed you're seeing Macromedia you must be referring to either Macromedia Flash or Macromedia Shockwave. Neither of these have anything to do with Civ2, so I suspect you bought a copy of Civ2 sold in a DVD case, with some Flash-based installer. Is that correct?
Civ2 comes with two other things that would normally require installing, Intel Indeo Video and Microsoft WinG. Are either of these two mentioned as the other things that need installing?
What exactly are you doing when trying to install the game? Do you simply put the CD in the drive and the installer pops up?

sorry, I'll try to be more specific. I bought the game recently and it has sold-out software written on it. SO when i put the disk in it first comes up with a message saying:
'please wait while detecting your system configuration'
It then leads to a box saying there was the following problem and has Macrodmedia shockwave player written in red and a button saying Autofix which I click. It reccommends that I close web browser whilst it does its thing and so I do and it installs. But when I then try to install it again, it does the same thing

Nothing stupid about that. It's the installation program's fault that installing Shockwave fails, or that it needs that at all. Just remember it for next time. Glad you fixed it.
Quite. I've got a few games like that as well, including Civ2 Test of Time. Sometimes I think about taking the CD to some print shop and having the PDF printed to a nice paper manual. But then I'm too lazy and cheap to actually do it.
civiloser said:Also, nothing to do with technical problems, just a little gripe: it's pretty annoying that if you buy the game now, you don't get a manual and technology tree with it but only as a pdf
