My friend is running this on Windows XP. NOT VISTA. Age of Empires 3 Gold Edition.

He inserts CD 1 into the drive. Installation pops up and an error box appears saying: 1158 and a Ok button. Presses ok and the window closes and installation is drawn into a halt.

He has previously had a pirated version of Age of Empires 3 and War Chiefs. With a bad CD key that came with it. He decides to buy the real game. We completely eradicated all of the previous files of the pirated version. Still, the installation error appears on the real one: 1158. All has been updated on the computer.

Reboot your computer and click start, select run, type %temp% then click ok. That should open up the windows temp folder, delete all the files (that you can) from there and close the folder.

Next check the following.

1. Right-Click the start button and select "Explore"
2. Navigate to the "All Users" directory, then "Start Menu", then "Programs"
3. Look for a folder named "Microsoft Games" if it does not exist create one.
4. Then in that directory, check for a folder named "Age of Empires III" again if it does not exist create it.

Once you have verified those folders exist, or created them, close those windows and try once again to run the setup.exe file.

Have you gone through there for other possible solutions?

Yes, we have tried everything. I see mostly questions on Google but no answers to solve this problem.

From what I gather it is a fairly rare problem.

Did you delete the pirated version from the registry before trying to install your legit version?

Check the hard drive make sure it isn't full (probably not the problem but at least its something to try).

Sounds like a registry problem to me. Go to filehippo.com and download CCleaner. Run a registry scan, and fix all issues; it may help.
