Problem installing Warlords

[hellhawk_rod]

Hi, I uninstalled Civ 4, Warlords and BTS but am now trying to reinstall them. Ive installed Civ 4 again fine but when I tried to reinstall Warlords next an error message pops up:

"The setup has detected that version 2.13.000 of Civ 4 Warlords is already installed

This setup installs an earlier version of Sid Meiers Civ 4 Warlords (1.00.0000)

You will have to uninstall the previous version before installing this version"

I dont know why this is as I uninstalled Civ 4 and all the expansions a while back, I tried deleting the entire Firaxis Games directory in the C drive hoping to start from scratch with absolutely nothing there, I uninstalled Civ 4 no probs but I keep getting this message!! Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks for your help!!!!!

you should reinstall following the below guide - and try to delete as many of the listed files manually as possible


install the most recent version of DirectX 9c from Microsoft

then do the following for a clean reinstall:

Uninstall and Reinstall Civ4 Warlords BtS :

Try to follow this order when doing stuff:
Use Control panel to uninstall Beyond the Sword, then Warlords, then Civ4
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\beyond the sword" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\beyond the sword" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\sid meier's civilization 4" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\warlords" manually
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\local settings\application data\my games\beyond the sword" manually
(note: application data is a hidden directory so you need to configure windows explorer to show hidden files, also these directories in application data are sometimes removed by the uninstall routine)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8}" (Civ4)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{3E4B349F-10B5-4586-9D99-489A90A8B228}" (Warlords)
Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989}" (BtS)
(note: InstallShield Installation Information is a hidden directory so you need to configure windows explorer to show hidden files).
Install Civ4, immediately patch it to 1.61 (download it fresh from here)
Install Warlords, immediately patch it to 2.08 (download it fresh from here)
Install Beyond the Sword, immediately patch to 3.19 (download it fresh from here).
