Planetary pack: SMAC works, SMACX doesn't. Got spare money?

XP, Service Pack 2. Installed Planetary Pack. Tried with and without the 1.03f patch for "XP compatibility".

terran.exe works.
terranx.exe pops up a window saying "access denied".

Any hints? ForceOldVoxel=1 is set, and, well, terran.exe runs fine.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Does it run from the Planetary Pack startup?

Increase Your PM Length

Nope, same effect. Planetary Pack startup goes away, I get a little box that says "Access Denied".

My original install from the CD gives me tiny (250k) files named terran.exe and terranx.exe. Installing the 1.03f patch makes terran.exe about 3MB, and doesn't touch terranx.exe... But either way, terran.exe works fine, terranx.exe doesn't.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I am using the Planetary Pack on XP afer doing the =1 thing and putting in noCD terran and noCD terranx exe files in place of the old terran and terranx files.

Last I made 2 new shortcuts to each file on my desktop and all works.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

So, the hypothesis is that it's the copy protection biting me? This sounds sort of familiar, and explains the error message. I downloaded the noCD executables, I'll see how it runs. I actually have a CD emulator anyway on my laptop, so it's not as if I can't provide the CD... But I've seen a lot of copy protection code fail anyway under XP.
