I'm trying to understand your problem now but I can't follow your most recent post. EP installer looks not normal? In what way? Got a screenshot?

Ah sorry about that, i must have forgotten to copy the link, this is how the icon looks like for me: https://puu.sh/ygPOW/0dc9482ffa.jpg

I did as Eaglemut suggested, i ran the ESOC Patch 4.1.0.0.exe file as admin and then tried starting the launcher as admin as well (while having deactivated my AV all the time), but i always get the error message that the file cannot be accessed.

Sounds like the shortcut isn't actually pointing to the file anymore. If you browse to C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\age of empires 3\bin\, is the ESOCpatchlauncher.exe there?

I have the folder in D:\games\steamapps\common\Age Of Empires 3\bin, but does that make a difference? The ESOCpatchlauncher.exe is in there.

But whenever i try to reinstall EP, I already get the error message https://puu.sh/yiQEp/fa006b56c2.png
same with age3f.exe

I still have not been able to solve the problem that I'm facing.
The problem is that i get the error messages: https://puu.sh/y8CRX/f4a7635482.png and when downloading the EP, followed by https://puu.sh/y9PBu/e2d1567d4e.png after hitting "ignore" for the two first error messages.

Also the Esocpatchlauncher.exe looks fucked up, like this on the desktop https://puu.sh/ygPOW/0dc9482ffa.jpg and this in the folder https://puu.sh/ymLjA/162693d74d.png.

During the process i have my antivirus deactivated and run the ESOC Patch 4.1.0.0.exe as admin. I am clueless yet again @EAGLEMUT @musketeer925

I honestly don’t really know. Seems like some process really likes preventing you from overwriting/copying files.

Try installing as admin while booting in safe mode? Safe mode shouldn’t start any processes that are unnecessary which might be interfering.

I’d probably also suggest making sure you have as clean an installation as possible before trying something new — uninstall EP from control panel, uninstall AoE3, go ensure the “bin” folder is gone, delete if not, install AoE3, install EP.

I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t be a problem to be installing in the D drive, but you could try someone on C temporarily to ensure that it’s not the problem if nothing else works.

Thanks for the quick response, and yea i guess i will have to just make sure to uninstall all and then reinstall aoe3 and then EP, and i will try to get it on C. Gonna do that when i can dedicate some spare time to playing and struggling around with all that reinstalling ^^

Just a quick update: I deinstalled EP from the control panel and deinstalled aoe3, but i was still left with some leftovers in the bin folder. https://puu.sh/yo6nD/6000f00a63.png
So i guess the error occurred because of some of these files? Just posted in case you were curious or whatever :P

well god damn, installing was super smooth this time but when i wanted to launch EP, it said: https://puu.sh/yo6PD/ee171e9524.png
MSXML 4.0 is not installed correctly, but it is needed to run the game. ... @musketeer925 :(

Cool, this sounds like progress. I think MSXML is something the Steam version installs on first run of the game. Have you launched RE through the Steam UI at least once since reinstalling?

If moving to the C drive has improved things, we may have some issues on our end with installing on D drive. I'll have to see if I can replicate issues with installing on a secondary drive.

That was exactly right, i didn't run RE before installing EP. Done that now and installing EP finally worked :D thank you so much!
