Problem installing Age of Empires 3

Rebel Shuttle · 06-25-2008, 12:22 AM

Whenever I try to install AoE3, the install shield will load. I get to the screen where it asks for express or custom installation. I select express and click next and then I get an error message which says:

Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040702
Description: Failed to load DLL: MGSPID
Setup will now terminate.

I click ok and I am forced to finish the install. I don't know what to do.

Hi Rebel.

Try extracting the file manually to you system32 folder.

I tried to extract the file but I get an error message that says:

Cannot copy mgspid: Cannot read from source file or disc.

Is it possible for you to install the game on a different computer? Just to make sure it's not a faulty disk.

I'm afraid not.

Is the disk new?
