Roster C now has a thread. You guys can quit feeling neglected now.
(@Sesn: I suppose now you'll tell me that you no longer feel neglected, but you do feel obligated to remind me of my duties to contend with that stack of Byzantine Cavalry in EOC2...

I'm still not seeing a 1B thread. I'll check back intermittently in between trying to set myself up a modded Vanilla install without ruining my C3C.

Well that's fair enough. Given that so far all I've managed to do is break both installs, so I can't play any Civ period, it's going to take me until then to get this fixed. Good thing it's a holiday.

Ok, I've busted it. Now that I can't get EITHER version of Civ to run, I'm uninstalling the works. I'll try again from scratch.
If anyone has done this, PLEASE help. I have both an old Civ3 CD, and my Conquests CD. (Somewhere, there's a PTW cd kicking around. Don't ask me to find it, please!) How can I install these, in what order or whatever, so that I can have both a Vanilla 1.29 install (with the GOTM mods), and a full C3C install (on the other hard drive would be perfect).
It doesn't seem to me like Civ ever likes to install anywhere other than where it thinks it should go (lousy install program), and even if I then move the directory to somewhere else, I can't get the install option to start over.
Last question: mad-bax was mentioning to install the mods to the directory with the civilization3x.exe file -- is this not a PTW file, rather than a Vanilla?

True, So you let it install Civ III, patch it to 1.29 then load your Conquest install.
Then make a whole copy of your top CIVIII folder (not the Infogames Interactive folder or you will also copy PTW & Conquest) and setup a 2nd folder (name it something like "Van CivIII") and copy that folder to it. Then Create a desktop icon to your new civilization3.exe file. This will give you 2 different copies of Civ III. The let the GOTM addons add all thier files to your original folder. You should now have 1 version that is modded for GOTM and one that is unmodded. {EDIT: This will actually give you a second PTW & Conquest, but you can just delete those individual folders from your copy.}
Here's a link to how someone explained it to me.
When I set mine up I was already modded for GOTM so I copied everything to a "Modded CivIII" folder.
When your done it should look something like this

I've amended the original instructions. These were originally written be ainwood and are perfectly correct apart from where I changed them
You can have two installs if you wish as mentioned above. I have 2 copies of 1.29, 3 copies of PTW and 2 copies of C3C.
I'm not sure what you did to break the installs. If you install to the wrong directory it will not break the original game. Most likely is that you have installed gotm24 to the wrong directory. This is because the installer for this pack tries to install to the default install path unless you stop it. When you get in the groove in installing these things one after the other it's easy to miss the difference. You should still be able to play the original though.
What error message do you get for each version?
