Hello there! Although I read the rules, this is still my first post, and I am still a little bit unsure if this is the right forum, but I have read around a bit and it seems ok :) Anyway, so I know there is already an installer for Civilization IV and one for patching it to version 1.74, but I noticed there isn't a 'complete' one for the Civilization IV: Complete package, so I decided to write one! Now I have managed to install Civilization IV: Complete via my install script (Tried wine 1.4.1 and 1.6rc4 and the results is the same), and then also patch it with the latest Beyond The Sword patch (I didn't patch the main game or the first expansion, as that is usually not needed). I have managed to play the game with Wine 1.4.1 before, but I didn't write down what I did back then, so I had to start from square one this time. The first problem I'm facing, is that the game when loading (at the first splash screen), spams me with XML load errors (msxml3 was installed via pol directly after the Civ IV install was finished), but if I hold down enter for a few minutes, I can get passed them. And then the second issue is that ALL of the text in the whole game, is replaced with 'TXT_KEY_<insert keyword here>', which I believe means that it can't parse the XML files that holds the text for the game. So my problem seems to lie with msxml3, but I can't figure out why it's not working. I will try with installing plainly through wine now as well, and see where that leads me. But if anyone has an idea then I would greatly appreciate it! :) Oh and, I am hosting all the patches on my own server, so the idea is that this install script will install Civ IV: Complete and then fully patch it, making it ready to play directly :D Anyway so here's an image of the problem when entering the game

Always make a backup of the files that are overwritten by the File Archive, as the original files are usually required to update the game to a newer version or to play Online!
Some No-CD/Fixed EXE files work fine in Single Player mode but are detected to be modified when trying to play online. When this happens use the original EXE to play online, else you could find yourself banned from the game!
When using Fixed Files make sure to use a Firewall which controls outgoing traffic, as some games call back to report the use of these modified files!
Some original games do not work when a certain application has been installed, like DAEMON Tools. In most cases using a No-CD or Fixed EXE will solve this problem!
Some Game Trainers are sometimes reported to be a Virus or Trojan, the most common is a keylogger called HotKeysHook or the file has been packed/protected with VMProtect or Themida and is recognized as Win32/Packed.VMProtect or Win32/Packed.Themida. In ALL cases this is a FALSE ALARM as NONE of the Game Trainers @ GCW contain known malicious code! More info in the PC Games FAQ!
If you have problems using a trainer in combination with Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 then make sure to run the trainer with Administrator rights and when needed in Windows XP or Windows 98 compatibility mode!
ALL available trainers are for Single Player/Offline use ONLY! Don't try to use them online else your account can/will be banned/closed!
