Sid Meier's Civilization III Gold Edition Won't Install (Vista)

VTEN · Mar 15, 2010

I'm wondering if someone could help me with this:

I recently purchased Sid Meier's Civilization III Gold Edition (with CivCity Rome).

When I put the disc in to install, the install page appears. But when I click "Install" the disc accesses for a long time and then the initial installation page disappears with nothing else happening.

I've tried this on both my laptop and my desktop with the same (non) results.

Am I missing something here?

On the laptop (the one I really want to install the game on), I'm running:

Vista Home Basic, Service Pack 2
32 bit

I seem to have all the required specs for this game. Is Civ 3 not compatible with Vista?

Thanks in advance!

There may be a firewall or some other application preventing you from completing the installation.

Try doing the following:

1. Open System Configuration by typing this into the search bar:

Code:

msconfig

2. Go to the Services tab

3. Check the box entitled, "Hide all Microsoft services"

4. Now click Disable all

You will be prompted to restart your computer.

Try installing the game after you have restarted your computer and let me know the outcome.
