I have windows 7 64-bit and AOE 3 wont install for me. It al goes fine as far as C:\...Microsfot Games\Age of Empires III\sound\sound.bar then it freezes up for ages, then an error comes up saying Error1305.Error reading from file C:\Program Flies (x86) Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\sound\sound.bat. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Please help, I've deleted all files related to the game before installing, tryed installing in Vista compatability mode and nothing seems to work.

Thanks

Hi Shaun949,

This error is usually caused by a damaged or dirty installation disk. It is often recommended to return your disks to the shop and exchange them for another copy. In the past I have also contacted Microsoft directly and they have posted me a new set of disks, for free!  

I'm pleased you managed to use a mates disks to get the game installed, but by using his cd-key, you may have difficulty playing online together. If this happens, you may need to retry installing using your own cd-key.

All the best,

Cheers for the reply.

I have my own online account already so I wouldn't say that should be a problem because that would have been registered with my CD-key.

I got the game a few years back and no idea where from (was a present) but I may get on to microsoft, thanks for the idea
