Delete "...\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8}"

then try to reinstall

Did as you say. Reinstalled Civ4 but it didn't run. Then I install Patch 1.74_final and same error 1706 comes. "No valid source could be found for product Sid Meier's Civilization 4. Windows Installer can't continue"

so it did not run after installation? prior to the 1.74 patch? was there an error then?
