	Not another lame installation program, is there? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I remember for the first CTP, the developers for some reason decided to spice up how the game installs, namely by adding a quasi-Africano drum riff and a slideshow of sketches.

The problem was, whenever there was a glitch, the drum riff might repeat endlessly like a broken record, or the small green status box might freeze up around 99%. There's no way to alt-tab or alt-F4 out, so your forced to restart your computer. In my case, this happened more than once. Also, even when it did work correctly, it seemed to take a comparitively long time.

They didn't make the same mistake AGAIN, did they? I'll take a plain 'ole InstallShield status bar over that any time.

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

The installation screen shows a slide show of CTP2 concept art. The music is different. There are no problems with the installer that we are aware of and it has been tested extensively.

	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

So it's basically more or less the same as Ctp1

As far as I'm concerned, they could have just as well kept a basic installshield. I never stick around for my computer to install new games anyway

Hey, I enjoyed the concept art!

And it'll be particularly exciting for people unlike us who haven't seen a whole lot of screenshots already.

	Put an end to popups!

I found the CtP1 Installation Screen to be okay. But Id rather stick with a good 'ole Installshield too.
