I also love Civ IV. You have to go into the files and download it to your desktop. I believe you want the run ex file. That should do the trick, if not just email me and I will help you after work. topgram11@gmail.com

Hmm... I dug up my disk and was able to successfully install both II and III on a new computer with no problem. When you put the disk in and double click on setup.exe, there should be a splash screen that allows you to choose which game you want to install. I would suggest you contact the people that market the game, iWin.com, and maybe their customer support staff can help sort out your problem. Best of luck.

No, but make sure you have no higher than a Windows 7. Windows 8 or 8.1 will not install the game. Have a great day!

yes. if you have gods and kings working (which means you got the original civ 5 before gods and kings OR got those 2 as a bundle), it will certainly work.By the way, this expansion in my opinion is like Beyond the Sword for Civ 4 --- it's the expansion that makes it a great game.AFter seeing another response concerning Steam I have to mention I have used steam for years and not had much issues - it is sure nice not to have to play with the discs. Further,once you have a game installed and connected one time (which you need to get it installed) you actually don't have to be online to run the game...you can go into offline mode. I have donethat and it works, but why bother, unless your internet goes out. yes. if you have gods and kings working (which means you got the original civ 5 before gods and kings OR got those 2 as a bundle), it will certainly work.By the way, this expansion in my opinion is like Beyond the Sword for Civ 4 --- it's the expansion that makes it a great game.AFter seeing another response concerning Steam I have to mention I have used steam for years and not had much issues - it is sure nice not to have to play with the discs.

I owned the entire series when I was running XP. When I upgraded to Windows 7, it would no longer work. Went to the silly online game for AoE. So did they rework the software so it now works on Windows 7? Because the original software does not.

I have been using it Win 7/64 bit with no problems. Might want to check to see if there is a download at the game site.

I have windows 7 and this product doesn't even work on my computer. I don't know if it is my computer or the product. As for your system, some of the newer systems have a program that you can open it in the win 7. If you right click on the icon, there is a trouble shoot compatibility if you bought it already, otherwise I wouldn't get it and look for a different system.

my old PC and my now newly-built one both have Windows-7 installed, and "Doom 3" runs perfectly fine. Oh, and I'd stick with the 2004-05 versions of this and "Resurrection of Evil", and not get the BFG Edition (as they nerfed the hell out of that one)

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

I actually have TWO copies of the 24 version program and have never been able to get them to install......bummer. I have two older versions and was looking forward to this "upgrade". I understand it is fabulous.....but, as I said, can't get it loaded. Sorry I couldn't help you too much!!

I have mine setup to run like 7. Just download a free start menu button and have the comp boot to desktop instead of tiles.

First, we have a Windows 7 computer and would not understand the opration of the Windows 8. In addition, we did not purchase this laptop to use for games so I am sorry that I cannot assist you.

Hey Martin. I have not tried yet. I purchased this game before I fully realized what the requirements for it are. I was told by a friend I needed Win95!! Don't know if it's true, but I'll post again if I figure it out.
