No offense, but this belongs in the tech support sub-forum, if I'm right.

I can't help you though, I'm not an expert in these matters.

you will need to delete the installshield installation information subfolder for Civ4 as well - is this just civ4 or also an expansion pack?
ok
think i am just going to wait till i upgrade to windows 7, then just reinstall it again.
but the reason why it started screwing up was I was installing the 1.74 patch and it got all the way to the end and just stopped.
Is there anything i need to worry about running CIV IV on windows 7? my computer can either run 32 or 64 bit. Does CIV IV run on 64bit?
sorry about all the ?

it does run on 64 bit - however have a look through the windows 7 experiences thread in this subforum.
Essentially:
install into c:\games\
install with admin rights (i.e. right click on the setup.exe on the disc and choose run as admin - do not use the autoplay feature to install)
and patch the game to 1.61 then to 1.74 both with admin rights
