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 III
6. now just try to reinstall.
It worked for me on Windows 8, I hope it helps someone.

    Hello

    always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator

    It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode

    This does not work for all programs

    read the information below

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If a program is particularly important to you, there is this way of trying

    but it's expensive, because you must have a previous operating system license to install

    This method also works in vista Home premium, BUT is not supported by microsoft

    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.)

    Hey AnthonyMac,

    Consider the weather there is no scratches on the disc, clean the program CD-ROM or DVD. To do this, use a CD-ROM cleaning kit, or gently wipe the silver part of the CD-ROM with a cotton cloth soft and lint from the center of the round trip of the CD-ROM.

    If you still have the difficluties installing this, try to copy from the landfill, which is all the files which are there on the CD and see if you get any errors during the copy. If you have errors to copy from the CD, then the CD is wrong. You can download the installer from the Microsoft Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F627E37B-A8E8-4537-9A88-3C19B670C92A&displaylang=en

    Use this download for the trail version and use the product key that is on the CD to convert it into a full version.

    I hope that it works and would like to hear from you.

    Thank you

  • 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:

    Error messages when you try to install Age of Empires III or Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends: "Error 1935" or "Error 1904".

    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.

  • Difficulties to install Age of Empires III, help please?

    I try to install Age of Empires III on my laptop HP G62 under Windows 7 Home Premium, but it keeps stuck a blob in to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\art\art3.bar

    Does anyone else have this problem? How can I solve this problem? I really don't want to have to buy another copy of the game.
    Thank you
    Tristan

    There should be no problem install AOE3 without using the compatibility settings.
    Worked for me on Win7 64 bit.

    If she remains stuck at the same point is could be a disk failure. You can try to copy the contents of the disc to a folder on your desktop and install from there. If the files do not complete the copy on the desktop of the disc is probably wrong.

    I do not install all the games in the default location - Program Files (x 86), for several reasons.
    I used separate partition or HARD drive, but a new folder in the c: / drive is good enough. Name it what you like. You can install all your games in subfolders within that.

    Do you have other games that are installed with the specifications of the similar system of the same vintage (2005)? It is possible that the game ends to install if it does not recognize the Intel HD integrated graphics card.

  • Cannot install Age of Empires Trial Version

    Original title: downloaded game will not install on Vista

    I downloaded Age of Empires Trial Version Microsoft Games, but when I try to install nothing happens.  I got the .exe file on my desktop and can only run as administrator.  The next screen gives me the possibility to install or exit.  I select install and then get a license agreement.  I select I accept and then the computer thinks for a minute and then nothing else happens.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello! I had this problem too, and I hope that you are always looking for an answer. It's the first time posted on forums ive.

    Ok! What you need to do, it's MSAoE.exe right click and select Properties. Then, go to compatibility and then run the program with windows 95. Go down to settings and run in 256 colors. Then select run as an adiministrator. Click on apply, and then run the trial version download. Please note: this can temporarily ruin the color scheme on your PC. Thank you very much hope this helps as it worked for me. :)

    Other applications have been closed.  The Task Manager are no problem.  Cancelled and restarted, same problem.

    Hello

    If you are able to install the other games\programs except the Age of Empires 2 seems clearly to be the issue with game CD, then I would say you are trying to install the game using the same CD in the other XP computer and check if it installs successfully.

  • 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.

  • AOE III War Chiefs will not install

    I am trying to install Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs. The original game is installed but I get a message saying that AOE III was not installed for Allusers or the current user. Please along with it. This Setup will close. I am connected to the only account on my computer, why does he move. I tried to close on A / V & firewall, but it does not help.  All suggestions welcome!

    I found the answer. It's the incorrect operating system. I am running Windows 7, then here are the directions for Windows 7

    For Windows Vista users:
    1. right click on the Start button and select "explore".
    2. navigate to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.
    3. create a directory named 'Microsoft Games', if it is not already present
    4. in this directory, create another directory called "Age of Empires III"
    5 re - run the warlords to install the program.

    I did the above and the game installed easily.
