Vista - Age of Empire 3: War Chiefs

Anyone have any suggestions on installing this game. Install wiz starts and
finish stating that it failed to install. I have tried running install as an
adminstrator, with same results. AE3 works since it was installed with
XP(before installing RC1b5600)

Try installing in XP SP2 compatibility mode.
