Cannot install AOE3: The Warchiefs in Windows 7

Greetings.

It is long time since I get this error when you try to install the Warchiefs. The installation wizard will not load, and it pops up an error:

IDS_AGE3NOTINSTALLED

I obviouly installed it, but for some reason, it does not. That doesn't happen with The Warchiefs The Asian Dynasties has worked without any error-

I use Windows 7, 64 bit.

Help will be appreciated.

It may seem strange, but a solution confirmed by many is this: 1) go to "Folder Options" and uncheck "hide files of the operating system (recommended) protected. Now, as you can see the normally hidden files and folders, 2) go to ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > programs and make a Microsoft Games folder if it is not there (you may need to place a new Age of Empires III folder in this folder, too). Then, run the Setup program again. And don't forget to check the option above again (Hide protected system files..).

  • Error: "Windows cannot install to the selected location. Error: 0 x 80300001. »

    When I try to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba computer formatted I get this error message after trying to install the RAID driver during the installation process:

    "Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error: 0 x 80300001.

    I'm unable to proceed with the installation. Can someone please?

    Hi Jon,

    This error can occur during a clean Windows 7 install the operating system installation media is not in the drive. This happens usually when a user is necessary for the exchange of discs in order to install the necessary drivers on the system and the operating system disks were not placed in the drive before proceeding with the installation.

    The error would not occur if the Setup program has been started using a USB key as stable media would not be switched.
     
    The solution would be to change the driver CD or DVD of Windows 7 install DVD media when this happens, then we can continue with the installation of Windows 7. In this particular case, it is likely that the RAID driver disk has been left in the drive.

    Note: This problem/error appeared less in Windows Vista since a message asking to specify the installation media usually as follows:

    "Please insert the disc 1 installation of Windows.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

  • Cannot install Silverlight (KB2690729) on my Windows XP machine. Suggestions?

    As in the title of the post, cannot install the update of Silverlight on my windows machine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi takajo,.

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
