Did you get the game to work?
I have been told by other Vista 64 users AoE and AoE2 doesn't install properly (it stops at the updating registry part).

Yeah, it works, after several hours of unsuccessful attempts... Actually I don't know how I succed. I remember I donwloaded the trial version, with the hittites, and tried to paste thes .exe file into the complete version folder. It didn't work first, but later, with more patience, the game launched!
It's ashamed a Microsoft games doesn't even work on windows. You have to find by yourself a solution. I found one, but with so many tricks I can't remember.
Sorry.

You possibly solved the problem by installing the trial (which I assume helped get the registry stuff across).

Yeah, the installation was not completed cuz the last part (don't remeber the name) bugged and lagged all the computer. Anyway, the whole game got installed in a folder, but not in the PC register.
Phatfish, did you buy the gold edition? Seems to be the only version that bugs on Vista 64.
