After installation, when "Launch" icon appears on desktop, I re-insert disc 1 as instructed. After the little bar fills halfway with blue, I get a thousand 'xml' error messages. Essentially, it's these two over and over:

Failed Loading XML file xml/text/civ4gametextinfos.xml
.[./FXml.cpp: 133] Error parsing XML File
File: xml/text/civ4gametextinfos.xml
Reason: Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not supported.
Line: 1,44
Source: <?xml version + "1.0" encoding+ "ISO-8859-1"?>

I click 'OK' on this one and it's followed by one like this:

Load XML call failed for xml/text/civ4gametextinfos.xml
Current XML file is: xml/GlobalDefinesAlt.xml

I click through about 30 of these, essentially the same 2 over and over, then the game will finally start. I can play, somewhat, but all unit names, everything on the main menus, every script everywhere is spelled out like so: TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA. Some of these names are so long that they run off the screen and I can't see the end of them to tell what they really are, some bleed on top of each other becoming totally illegible. Anybody out there know how to fix this? I will name my firstborn child after you.
 
That sounds like the xml parse error that was in V1, fix as donchron says. If not already done so, also load Patch V1.52, together they (should :) ) fix most hassles you have
