im trying to install AOE but i keep getting a pop-up saying:

Age of Empires III was not installed for all users or the current user.
Please log in with the correct account. This set-up will exit.

I am the computer administrator, i don't know what else to do?

From the FAQ below
http://forum.agecommunity.com/ibb/posts.aspx?postID=304753&postRepeate...p=1#304

"Q. I encounter "Age of Empires III was not installed for allusers or
the current user. Please log in with the correct account. This setup
will exit." error, when installing WarChief's. What can I do?
1. Right-Click the Start button and select "Explore"
2. Navigate to the "All Users" directory, then "Start Menu", then
"Programs"
3. Create a directory called "Microsoft Games"
4. In that directory, create another directory called "Age of Empires
III"
5. Re-Run the War Chiefs install program. "

I had the same problem, but followed what Katy Pluta wrote and that fixed it
and I was able to install the War Chiefs Expansion Pack.
Thanks!

WHOOP it worked for me! thanks katy pluta. on vista i didn't even need
to navigate to all users, because when i clicked "explore" on start
button, the only file that shored up was the prgrams file. and when i
clicked on it like 5 folders popped up. I pushed "organize in the upper
left hand corner, added another folder (named Age of Empires III), and
it worked
