Try rebooting and then right click the setup file and click "Run as

Delete your windows temp files (run disk clean-up), should help
Installshield.

if that doesn't work what are your system specs? Civ 4 installs on all my
Vista boxes without any tweaking, so it's probably some Vista problem
(meaning your system is not setup correctly or something)
 
thanks but neither worked i am running a lap top with intel centrino duo (1.5
ghz) and 2 GB of ram, and intel graphics media x3100 (384mb of gay shared
memory) but it doesnt get passed the install shield, i dont get it i never
had this problem before
 
I dont know if this helps heres the exact error under details

Windows XP or Vista? You never posted even your computer model number,
so I still have no idea what kind of computer you're trying this on...
Just that it's a notebook.

Error message seems to indicate XP, but being a Vista Forum...

So..... I don't know, your installer is crashing, before it even gets to
the first screen where you click on Next >? Sounds to me like there's
something wrong with your system. I mean, Installshield is just a
program, if it's crashing there's something going on. Any other programs
not install correctly on your system?

You tried deleting your temp files, humm? Did you check the
Firaxis/activision support site, see if there's maybe some
troubleshooting or if the error has come up before?

-A. - good luck.

Excuse... I am trying to run a great game by Sid Meiers, it's called
Civilization IV. I recently upgraded to Vista and I am wondering if
it'll work. The Firaxis website doesn't say anything about Vista
Compatibility. Please Help.


OK... ALL KIDDING ASSIDE. :)

If the game came out BEFORE Vista was released, then whatever support
website out there exists for the game, more than likely does not say
"Vista Supported". FORTUNATLY, Vista is designed to run Windows XP
applications, and some 2k/98/95/dos/abacus Games. While you may have
some trouble running these games, it does not mean it flat out won't
run.

The software devs are just trying to tell you, "We tested this game on
Windows XP, if sometime in the future a new operating system comes out
that's compatible with Windows XP, this game will "probably" work with
it, but we cannot guarantee it will work for you."

So hey, Microsoft says Vista runs XP games, Firaxis says, "This game
should run in XP."

You should be ok. ok? ok! ok...

Alternatively, glagla52: why not just whack in the disc and SEE if it works?
It's not as you' re hoping the game works as a pre-condition to buying
Vista - you've already got Vista, you've already got the game. Suck it and
see!

Or - if you've already tried and are having problems, post back reporting
full details of same and what you've tried.
