    Advice on doing a Dual Install of PTW and Civ3 1.21

    Some people who are playing the Civ3 Democracy Game (like me) that also want to run Play the World are in a bind.

    I now have PTW, but have not installed it yet as it will install over my Civ3 vs. 1.21 that we use in the Democracy Game.

    I need to know a safe way to be able to play PTW *and* still be able to run Civ3 vs 1.21 so that I can participate in the Democracy Game.

    Unfortunately, the AI programing is different in vs 1.21 and the most recent patch/PTW. Running the Demo Game's save file on my machine with PTW installed will give me different results.

    Please help.

    Did anyone taking part in the democracy game report any problems?
    I just ask because I thought since PTW installs into a sub-folder of civ3 and uses a different exe (and 1.04 being a patch for PTW and not civ3, afaik), it will not affect your previous "vanilla" civ3 version...

      Thanks Cagliostro,

      I hope you're right. I can't dual-install right now, as the CivIII CD does not give me the option. If I want to reinstall it forces me to erase the previous version of CivIII.

      I'll try a simple PTW install and take my chances, then report back here with the results.

        If you want a dual installation, install Civ3, rename folder to "oldCiv3" run setup again, install again, patch whatever etc, and rename whichever folder your playing/patching with at the time.

          Just so you know, you will have to dual-install to be able to play PtW with Civ3 1.21. With PtW, vanilla Civ3 is patched up to 1.29f. Check the date of the exe, and I believe it should read June sometime.

            Ack! Sorry - I didn't stop back here and read your comment about trying it, Togas - it was just a guess - that's why I asked if anyone else mentioned problems - sorry again for causing any inconvenience
