Civ 3 Install problems

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

I can not get Civ 3 to install on my hard disk. when I run the
setup.exe file it asks if I want to completely uninstall the program.
But the install program, (either the autorun or setup file), never
shows me an install button only a uninstall and a reinstall button
both of which give the same results, asking me if I want to completley
uninstall the program.

I have tried deleting all the directories for infogames on my PC as
well as removing all reference, (that I could find), in my registery.

I bought a new CD because I thought the original was broken, it has a
crack in it. But the new one I bought does the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I found the solution at the Atari web site.

is a manual uninstall set of instructions. Not for the unexperienced
in using regedit program though.
