國外的世紀3在win2000之下的安裝法
(但是我依法安裝成功,卻還是不能玩,會跳出小視窗)

以下轉錄方法,可是我的win2000sp4還是不能玩,是需要登錄檔還是哪裡出錯嗎?


AOE3 Demo in Win2K

In case there are still a few Win2K holdouts wanting to run the AoE3 Demo, here's a workaround I found:

1. Start aoe3trial.exe
2. It creates a new folder (_is(and some number)) at

"Cokumente und Einstellungen<aktueller Benutzer>Lokale Einstellungen emp"
(Don't know what this is with an english Win2k...Maybe Cocuments and Settings<your username>Local Settings emp)

3. Wait for the error message (Note: don't click "ok")
4. Copy the "Age of Empires III Trial.msi" from the mentioned Temp folder to C:
5. Rename the file to ao3.msi
6. Go to the command console (START>RUN>cmd) and type: msiexec /a C:ao3.msi /qn TARGETDIR="C:lah"

Wait a few moments.

7. Start C:lahAge of Empires IIIage3.exe

Works for me. The only thing I would add is that is isn't immediately obvious it's doing anything after running the command, thus the "wait a few moments" step. But it runs alright so far for me. Now everyone can join in on the bellyaching about the size of the UI
