quote for Megasaxon @ aoe heaven:

Okay guys, after reading the above post about the xml files, well i've figured it out.

For everyone having this issue, you need to update your Microsoft XML parser.

Simply go to the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLa ng=en#filelist

and download msxml.msi or click http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=46&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId= 3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&u=http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/6/5/9657c01e-107f-409c-baac-7d249561629c/msxm l.msi

Install this, restore the xml files to normal names, and bam. the game runs.

Or atleast it did for me.

Hopefully this'll work for all you guys too
