What do I use to mount an image or watever

GothicPimp (2009-02-09)

You can use daemon tool to mount an image.

 eyezin (2009-02-12)

Read INFO.nfo (in notepad)
Or use PowerISO

redbandana (2009-02-14)

actually the torrent contains a daa file. Therefore, you cannot use daemon tools to mount the image

djdatar (2009-02-19)

Crap. Doesen't work! Missing dll file.

redbandana (2009-02-24)

It works fine. It is actually one of the best CivIII torrents I've installed. Follow the directions!!! Mount with PowerIso

anonymousbtard (2009-03-15)

I had the same problem. Mounted with Iso followed instructions but still got "missing dll"

Hoenkie (2009-03-20)

I followed the instructions but 'binkw32.dll' is missing.

emilloz (2009-03-28)

Hm.. it's weird.
PowerIso wont let me mount the image, even though it should be capable of mounting .daa images. What could be the problem? I have used poweriso many times before, but never had this problem.

silverak4 (2009-03-29)

Works perfectly, I originally had a problem with it crashing during the industrial age but I re-installed followed his directions and made it all the way through to the space age A+++ no problems

johnler (2009-03-29)

if you can't mount a daa with poweriso, just find a daa converter to convert it to an iso and you'll be able to mount it with poweriso or daemon.

For the people missing the binkw32.dll:

silvermunken (2009-04-06)

finally installed the game using poweriso but still it asks for cd.. ive tried a lot of patches. is this the us version? do i need different patch in europe or with this version? i also dont have a cd/dvd drive on my small laptop.. can someone help?!
theres an exe file included, do you need it when you have installed the daa file?

nickthersplayer (2009-04-15)

okay every one you see the icon that says civilization 3 in your folder that you download? it is an exe file. replace the one in the c drive>program files>infogrames interactive>civilization 3 with the one that you downloaded. mount the image on the drive and ta-da the game works. read the directions for heavens sake.

gabnak (2009-04-21)

I need help, i play civilization works perfectly but when arrives in the industrious age, crash going to the desktop.. HELP PLEASE.

Neusyn (2009-05-20)

Ok don't actually click civilization.exe you have to run setup.exe to install it. But works great now, I had the problem of it crashing also but all I did was closed unnecessary programs that might drag it on my single core comp and assigned to 1 core on my dual core, which seemed to have fixed that.

MrPumpkin (2009-06-19)

I downloaded the Bink thing, that didn't seem to do anything, so i found the actual dll file, downloaded it, only to get an error that the dll is installed incorrectly.
Halp!

MrPumpkin (2009-06-19)

Also, to Neusyn: What setup.exe?

LargoLaGrande (2009-06-21)

This is actually a superb release, smaller in size than most others. Thank you very much for "adjusting" and sharing eyezin!
@MrPumpkin:
He's talking about the SETUP.EXE inside the CD-ROM-Image. Further, if BINK hasn't been installed correctly, you might consider uninstalling and reinstalling it. Make shure you have administrator rights etc. - or just ask the neighbour kid for help.

kninja387 (2009-07-15)

i can't read the info and i've done pretty much everything that's been suggested

jimcrow22 (2009-07-27)

It wants me to insert a cd. What am i doing wrong?

Boggles (2009-09-24)

This is what i did it took me several hours to figure out and im a layman. Ive got a small laptop and no cd rom drive and vista and its now working ok:)
1) google 'binkw32.dll' and download it
2) odwnload a trial copy of expresszip (or whatever its called) and extract the binkw32.dll to my windows/system folder (check its there)
3) got full version of poweriso from this website, installed and registered (unsure if trial version will work)
4) unzipped the Civ folder
5) went inside and found system.exe, run this and installed typical (not minimum)
6) run the patch that came with the torrent
7) run divx in the civ 3 folder
8) copied and replaced the civilisation 3.exe (not the one in the CIV 3 folder) with the one in infogames folder in my c program file
9) then it worked

Boggles (2009-09-24)

please note above mistake not system,exe,
its setup.exe you run
i havent yet got to industrialk age tho

zestick (2010-04-30)

What can we do about the crash when we get to the the industrious age?? Thanx

iwantcivndsims (2011-06-21)

can someone make a video showing the steps because i wont be able to do it with just reading it plz help

kenyon1151 (2012-09-03)

I followed the steps to the end. Only one problem. After i was done, i clicked the civIII.exe file to run the game. The problem is, absolutely nothing happens. I already got the bink.dll so what is next, why wont it run.

garbo. dt > poweriso. don't waste your time unless you're OK with spending a bunch of it setting up the download just to install it.
