Python Initialization Failure

[Firehazurd]

So I've figured it out.

BTS hates to be installed with the Direct2Drive version of Warlords installed. Uninstall BTS and Warlords. Reinstall BTS and only then reinstall Warlords. I did this and both work magnificently.

Thanks!

One more incompatible combination to add to the list of possible problems caused by gazillions of different versions out there. Good to know and glad it works for you

hi guys, just been reading this thread as i have had this problem for some time however only now have i tried to fix it and altho this thread is some years old i hope you can help me!

here are my logs after i set the 0's to 1's and installed the newest patch, i only have the vanilla version.

appears to have a multiude of errors, but i have no idea what they mean.

welcome to cfc

what operating system is this?

 

[Swell_Rat]

cheers!

i got windows microsoft office XP service pack 3.

any idea wat my problem could be?!

the most common problem is missing permissions: did you install this on an administrator account?

 

[Swell_Rat]

yes, installed it as the administrator...

another weird thing is that i cant seem to uninstall the program, apparently when i try to remove it, the setup.exe has enoucnted a problem and needs to close.

hmmm,

 

[ori]

is this just civ4? or also an expansion?

 

[Swell_Rat]

no, just civ4.

 

[ori]

do the below:
install the most recent version of DirectX 9c from Microsoft

then do the following for a clean reinstall:

Uninstall and Reinstall Civ4
Delete \Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\my documents\my games\sid meier's civilization 4"
Delete "...\documents and settings\<username>\application data\my games\sid meier's civilization 4"
(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}"
(note: InstallShield Installation Information is a hidden directory so you need to configure windows explorer to show hidden files).
Restart the computer.
Install Civ4, immediately patch it to 1.61 (download it fresh from here)
then install the 1.74 patch (from the downloads database here)

Hi, haveing the same problem with BtS. failing to initialize python.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, deleted the files like you said previous in this thread and reinstalled.

My log files are attached and here is my method of installing.

Install Civ 4
Install BtS
Downloaded and execute the 3.17 patch

When getting the log files i noticed something, theres only beyond the sword in my documents/my games folder. I have no default Civ 4 folder with settings in them.

Thanks for any help
