    Subject: Age of Empires - Install problems

    After Windows XP and DirectX problems I had to uninstall Age of Empires III and The Asian Dynasties. After that I tried to re-install these programs.

    Although after Autoplay I got  the window with the install button the program told me always I had to uninstall the games - even after I deleted ALL registry items.

    Nevertheless, I can play these games when I choose them in program manager.

    Now I bought "The War Chiefs" too and tried to install - it was told that Age of Empires is not installed. Furthermore I get a message that FirewallInstallHelper wasn't found, though the file is in directory.

    Can anyone help?

    Give a try to Tuneup Utilities 2010. It is great for solving such problems. :-)

    Here is link for their website : http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

    Try the trial version. I hope it would help you solving the registry problem.

    Thank you for the hint, Babri, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

     I think that other people who tried to reinstall AoE can tell me about their  experiences.

    No trials - all are full versions.

    This problem happened with my bro too. He uninstalled the whole game. And then reinstalled it all over. Don't forget to make a backup of your save games before doing so.

    But that's the problem! I made a backup at an extern harddisk and uninstalled all parts of the games, also the registries. Though I couldn't reinstall the games, I get always a message to uninstall.

    That is quite surprising. Can you see AOE3 in "Add/Remove Programs" option ?

    No, not more.

    Unfortunately, Microsoft gives absolutely no support.

    In the Control Panel, in Add/Remove programs, select the Age of Empires III games and select Uninstall.

    Once that process completes, reinstall all of the games.

    How I said, AoE is not listed furthermore in the control panel.

    Hmmm... It seems that only reinstalling windows could solve this problem. :-(
