age of empires III ERROR 1603 consult windows install help (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information
I tried to install age of empire III on my computer windows 7, but I got an error until I had to even insert the key (ERROR 1603 consult windows help install (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information). I tried to enter in the files and run the setup.exe as an administrator, but it did not help.
Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
AoE3 is fully compatible with Win7 and I had no problem at the facility, but it may not be compatible with
your graphics accelerator if it's an older 'integrated' graphics chip.
(This should show a different kind of error message, but sometimes Windows spits a seemingly unrelated error message.)
Try to post on AOE3 forums below. There may be someone who has had the problem with the installation of the game-

I recently bought Age of Empires 3 and tried to install it. I get to drive three - until almost the end - when I'm "error 1334.

This may indicate a network error and the error reading CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

" Consult the help of Windows Installer (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information. "Then, the Setup program stops and tells me that the game failed to install and my system has not changed.

Cannot install 'Age of Empires III War Chiefs' on Windows 8.
Original title: Age of Empires III war Chifes does not install
I got a new computer Windows 8 64-bit. When I tried to install my favorite game Age of Empires III, the expedition of warlords will not be installed at the same time the Asian Dynasties and the Age of regular Empires is installed and works very well.
I searched the web and couldn't find the answer, when I try to install I get error of 1268. I tried all solution on the web. I'll be glad if someone can guide me throw it.
Thank you.
Hello
I had problems to install this game as well.The error occurred to me was that the program was not installed for all users.I found a solution to:1. go to computer > C: and the option to display hidden items.2. after a hidden folder named ProgramData will appear.3. then you should go ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > StartupMenu > programs.4. When you are in that folder you just create another folder named Microsoft Games.5. inside of this new folder, you create another one named Age of Empires III6. now just try to reinstall.It worked for me on Windows 8, I hope it helps someone. -
Original title:
Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties
After a few years with Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties uninstalled I recently tried to install it. When the Setup could not install the file "Art5.bar" and would not proceed beyond this file. I tried several facilities with the same result. If it is a zero or a problem with the disc, is there no way, far from buying a new copy, which would allow the installation of The Asian Dynasties or would repair the disk? Is it not possible to force the installation to jump before the installation of the file "Art5.bar" and try to find the file online a patch or another source?
I found similar questions online and was trying a possible solution, which was to copy files from my drive in another file and try to install from there. Then I discovered that windows can not copy a certain file on the disk, called ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' correctly. The copy process stop, just as the installer of The Asian Dynasties had previously and would not then spent the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I was also unable to copy the file '00002.tmp', but I was able to jump in front of the copy of the file. I don't know if this file is corrupted and critical for installation, were not able to determine if yes, when you attempt to run Setup from the folder Setup cannot start the installation of The Asian Dynasties without the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I have not found similar questions online and do not know if this is the issue of the installation of The Asian Dynasties or indicates files corrupted on my drive.Hi, I could not also copy the 00002.tmp, but I think it might be due to a cyclic redundancy check indicating a damaged drive.
Maybe try to download this file from the internet and (after checking that it is the right file) replacing the version on your CD.

Age of Empires III is compatible with windows 7
I looked at the site of windows compatibility, and he says AOE III is not compatible but he said AOE III Asian Dynasties and Rise of Rome are compatible. But you have to install AOE III first of all that the others are Add ons.
Someone saw if AOE III or other games RSG as Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, Rise of Legends are compatible with Windows 7.
And where Devil can you buy these now? I can't find someone online. Would be great buy and download but I don't it anywhere to buy.
cmschu,
information and where to get them, see http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/ and follow the links to those that you are interested in. AOE III seems to be available on Amazon for example.
Some of the games have demo versions available for download from the links and I already loaded 'Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots' trial and that works OK on my netbook with W7 starter, for example.
Im confused by the list of compatibility for AOE III - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=age%20of%20empires%20iii&os=32-bit - W7 seems depends on what version you have.

When I clicked ok, a second box poped in reading:

I went to System Configurations and checked to see if "Windows Installer" has been loaded. This is the case! I have to update my Windows Installer? If Yes, where can I find it.

Hmm, if a download, it seems that it is maybe corrupted. You can download it again? You may need to contact that company directly because it looks more like a problem with the source file for a problem with Win7. Bob Larson Access MVP

How to install Age Of Empires III on a Windows Vista or 7?
I bought Age of Empires III (without extensions, only the original) a few years ago and it worked well on my Windows XP operating system. I now have a Windows Vista computer and another that runs on Windows 7, and AOEIII installs correctly on either. On the Vista computer, I get an error message saying the game has known compatibility issues, but there is no solutions when I click on the button "find solutions online. I choose to install the program even when and installation runs without any problems, but after a few minutes, an error message appears saying that there is an error in opening a specific file and I need to check that the file exists. I click try again, but the message continues to appear every few minutes. I tried many solutions online, including the execution of the program in different modes of compatibility and running it as an administrator. I downloaded a patch for the game, but when I double click on the patch to fix the game, another error message appears saying that there is a problem with my installation. I checked many sources who say the game is fully compatiable on Windows Vista and 7, but of course, it does not work for me.
Hi blakesk8dgk,
· What is the exact error message you get?
Check first if Age of Empire III is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 in Windows 7 or Windows Vista Compatibility Center:
Windows 7 Compatibility Center
Windows Vista Compatibility Center
Step 1:
Take a look at the link to the following article:
Step 2:
If the game is not compatible, then try to install in compatibility mode and check if it helps:
Windows Vista - Make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
Run Windows 7 - make older programs in this version of Windows
I hope this helps.

Hello
This problem may occur if the SYSTEM account does not full control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows package to install to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install the software.
I'd download CyberLink CLCleaner tool from the following link and install the program.
http://www.CyberLink.com/support/product-FAQ-content.do?ID=14845&prodId=186
If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the Support of CyberLink or HP support for help.

I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
Hi Raygun55,
Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!
This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.
I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:
Manually copy the file
To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:
1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:
o Age of Empires III
o Fable: The Lost Chapters
o Zoo Tycoon 2
o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.
3. Locate, and then click computer.
4. search and then click on the CD drive.
5. Locate and then click the following folder:
CD player :\ DirectX9
Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.
6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.
In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.
Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.
7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends
Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.
8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.
Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.
You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813
Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.
Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.
Let me know if it worked.
