Civ2 Load Failure Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

After several months off the screen I tried to start a Civ2 game. Double clicking the icon gave me the following error message;

WinG Load Failure Error:2

I have not seen this before. I reinstalled the original Civ2 program plus Conflicts and Fantastic worlds. At each stage the same error message came up. I am running Windows 98 and have made no upgrades to the operating system since the last successful running of Civ2.

Any pointers will be gratefully received.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Because Civ is not a "Registered Program" in the sense that it has no entries in the Windows Registry - Windows does not know that WinG is being used and will allow other applications to wipe it out when they are uninstalled ...

I don't think WinG is installed during the Civ2 install process, but is usually in Windows previous to installation so it doesn't come up to much.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

But uninstall utilities still have permission to remove it? Seems strange.
