What is the Proper Install Order for Patches

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

I just had windows screw up my registry on me. As a result I had to
re-install a lot of software to get it to work. Civ III was one of
those programs.

Conquests and PTW no longer where listed in my install because of the
registry mess up. So rather than blow away files containing my
preferences and Hight Score I installed over the existing
installation. For regular Civ III I uninstalled first.

I installed Civ III and its patch. Then Conquests and its patch.

Will that cover PTW patch too? Will PTW be messed up any since it was
originally installled from a PTW CD.

So far everything looks o.k. But I am still worrie something isn't
right.

PTW patches Civ3, Conquests patches PTW and Civ3 (assuming you never
installed PTW separately).

However, if you don't install PTW separately, you don't get all the
content folders for the scenarios. You'll need to download them or
perhaps copy them from the CD -- I don't recall if you can simply copy
them or not, as did the full reinstall sequence of conquests over a
full PTW installation.

You can always tell the program version by looking at the bottom
left corner of the screen. If it starts up, at least you have the
executable right.

You don't need to do that much. All you need is:

Civ3
Civ3:Conquests, then patch it with latest version.

Intermediate patches are unnecessary but harmless.

i need the extra PTW units though......hmmmmm

anyway for the last 2 installs ive install the game, then copied my OLD
directory over so all my settings are the same on my "new" pc (or OS
install). That works fine still. My Civ3 dir is coming up to 2 years old
lol......
