Civilization IV: Complete Edition

Hi.

Could you update the script to install from GamersGate?

Thanks

Hi,

I used this installer for Civilization IV for years, thank you PlayOnLinux for creating it! It works great.

However, about a week ago it stopped working. The reason is, I install using the steam store purchase of the game, and the new steam update is broken with the wine 1.7.55 used in this package.

There is a bug report and a patch here:

https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-15336.html

To get the installer to work now with steam, I had to update the Wine version in the script: "2.12-staging". Since that wine has the patch described in the bug report. With that change to the script, the game installs and runs for me in Ubuntu 16.04.

It may be good to make a permanent change to the wine version in the script? I hope the maintainer will see this message.

Everything is working well.

However, after installation, I had an error running the game : "caught unhandled exception creating xml parser object".
I reinstalled msxml3 from POL and it solved the problem !

Script worked great for me. Mint 17.2 with Civ4 Complete DVD. Installed and running single player mode.

Once I select the DVD the installator shows the "unable to find the CD-ROM" error. This is because the PoL is looking for file that dosen't exist on the disc. (Civ4Installer.ico)

I'm uploading the fixes to the script.

PS:Just in case you were wondering, I was using original Civilization 4 Complete Edition disc bought in Poland in 2013.
