ok today i bought AoE Gold edition and i went home and started to install it everything goes fine but when i try to start the game from the autorun menu there is no "play game" option i get "reinstall", "uninstall" and a few other options that have nothing to do with playing what so ever, did anyone else have a problem right of the bat?

When installing AoE Gold at the end of installation it prompts user with choice whether or not they would like desktop icons/shortcuts created. Perhaps Microsoft decided that the executable in the install directory, and the shortcut under the start menu, and the optional desktop shortcuts were adequate. Normally the cd also has a play option as the game requires it for new campaigns and cinematics. Is it possible that the Gold Edition is cursed?

It's annoying and pointless, that's all. I'm never going to watch that movie again, so it doesn't make sense to keep launching it everytime I want to play.

Simple. You have to create a shortcut. In the program path edit box - select the right tab first - add "nostartup" without the quote marks. If you want to get the midimusic instead of the music on the cd, add "midimusic".
