Tried to replace everything, and re-install, and get a CTD both through the shortcut in the zip file and double-clicking the WBS. Any other thoughts?

Yep, that's the path I'm using. I cleared the cache before starting it, and still just CTD. Even when I go through the usual method of loading a mod, I just get the regular CIV IV welcome screen, not (what I am assuming would be a) different one for the mod. I do get the mod name in upper right corner, but nothing else, and from there, 'play a scenario' just lists all the other scenarios, not the ones for RFCE. There is one difference; I have an extra RFCE folder, so the path is C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\RFCEuropeBeta9\RFCEurope; the shortcut is here. I've tried it without the extra shell, and still nothing.

Yep, tried that and still nothing. Everything I try just gives me a CTD. I tried it in the non-recommended My Games folder too, and nothing.

OK, found what I think may be the problem. The CVGameCoreDLL.dll file was in the Assets folder, not the main RFCE folder. When I moved that to the main folder, the shortcut worked just fine. Will let you know if everything else works.
The CVGameCoreDLL.dll should be in the Assets folder. You should revert it back to where it was.

You shouldn't use the underlined path. C:\...\Mods\RFCEurope is how it should be.
Well, now I can get through the screens where you choose a civilization, etc., but when it has finished loading, I get a black screen, with a blue dialog box in the upper right corner, which doesn't say anything, just gives you a bar to click that says 'OK'. Click this, and then it jumps right to 'The End of History (return to main menu), and when you click that, you go back to main menu.
The CvGameCoreDLL.dll file should be in Assets. If you remove it from Assets, the game will load the default Civilization .dll, which will not work with the mod. I don't know why the original .dll is not loading, post the python error file to see if we can find where the problem is.
I should mention the latest 3.19 version of BtS and the possibility of a corrupt install for Civilization.
