• Whenever I try to install Age of Empires III I get error 1305... help!

  Whenever I try to install Age of Empires III, I get error 1305 says "error 1305 reading the file. What I'm doing. This game was not cheap I just installed a new game if it's not my drive. I have 400 GB free, so I have all the space in the world. Finally, he worked on my old pc. I need help, and I'm very crazy. Help, please.

  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.

  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

• 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-

• Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties uninstalling problem

  I installed Age of Empires III and two packs of its expansion. But when uninstalling, I left the Asian Dynasties and proceeded with the other two, and now I can not uninstall the package Asian Dynasties. Even when I try to install all the Asian Dynasties installation program once again, try to uninstall and fails to do so, stating the reason in the form of two missing files. Is it possible to remove the traces of the previous installation, as all the files in the installation directory have been removed?

  Hey aniket_s,

  What are the two missing files?

  You may need to rely on software from third parties to remove the traces of the previous installation of the registry.

  Please use your favorite search engine, and find one that is used.

  Before reinstalling the game, temporarily disable any anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware software running on your system, then try reinstalling.

  To get help, view your concerns the forum below.

  Note: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

   

  Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

• Installation of "Age of Empires III: Complete Edition" does not end.

  Original title: Age of Empires III: complete Edition. Installing reset percentage...

  Hello

  I am trying to install Age of Empires III: complete Edition on my computer windows 7 via the application of gamestop. When I interrupt the installation or turn off then turn on the computer, Setup resets to 44.3%. It feels like it will never finish the installation through this reason. Can you help me with this or is this a matter of Gamestop App support?

  «When I suspend the installation or turn off then turn on the computer, Setup resets to 44.3%.» ...
  ... or is it a matter of Gamestop App support? »

  Stop a download will often break the download, or it did when I was still using dial-up 56 k.
  The best way to get the successful download is to keep the machine running.
  I used to start the download before you go to bed and let it run overnight.
  Is there a particular reason, you must turn off your machine?
  It is also preferable to avoid making another on line jobs who can fly the download of the
  bandwidth when you have a slow connection. When a download is too slow it
  may also cause a corrupted file.

  If it's the only game that was a problem, then you can
  want to try the support of GameStop, but you deleted the file and restarted
  Download to own? If the original has been altered there is no continuous point
  with the same file.

• I can't get Age of Empires III to install on my Vista Ultimate 64 system!

  I tried to install several times without success.  I don't even get an error message!  The installation box runs through the routine of preparation and then closes without any report either.

  I did some research and found quite a long thread on this forum since 2009 by a person called Summerbreeze who seemed to have a similar problem.  After several posts back the thread died suddenly without any apparent resolution.  Apparently, it is possible to get this game to work on Vista because I keep seeing questions and reports on various hardware issues with Vista users.

  I am running Vista Ultimate 64, SP2, on a workstation Intel S5000VXNSATA that has two processors dual core Xeon 5130 and 4 GB of RAM.  My video configuration is a dual monitor connected to a graphics NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI card that carries the 256 MB of RAM on board.  I have 2 hard drives of 160 GB configured in RAID 0, but I have only about 50 free BM for the moment.  I am currently compressing readers in an attempt to free up space.

  Any of my equipment from the list of incompatibility and I certainly sufficient power to run this thing, then why the problems?

  Thank you
