hey guys,
when i try and start AOE 3 it fails to launch and says that "Age of Empires III Expansion 2 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Ive reinstalled the game and both the original game and the EP dont work. Ive verified the game cache files and there is apparently 1 missing but wont fix itself even after a re-installation.
Thoughts?

Personally I've got no idea, but you may want to list your computer specs, OS etc. for people that may be able to help.

Make sure you're doing a clean uninstall, Delete all of the files related to aoe 3 in your install directory.
Click start and type "regedit" or click start and type "run" then type "regedit.exe" then click run.
Browse to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Microsoft Games
Delete Age of Empires 3 related files/folders in the registry.
Reinstall the game now and the EP thereafter. Run the game as administrator, even if you're opening the game as a desktop shortcut or from the install directory. It should work now. If it doesn't, you're having some serious problem. I had this problem long time back, I fixed it following these steps. I hope it works for you.

Re: AOE has stopped working
I think you installed the EP on the Nilla version of AOE3. You need all the expansions (TAD,TWC) to install EP.
Plus all original version (Nilla, TWC, TAD) have to be updated to the latest version.
