I cant get AOE3 to install. I have the demo installed and it wont uninstall, it just sits at "Validating Install" for hours. I also have the pirated version installed but want to uninstall it obviously because I bought the legit version but it encounters the same problem. Does anyone have ideas???

Thats what I was wondering. I was thinking because my copy didn't have a 'valid' install to begin with it might not be able to uninstall in proper fashion. However I will try again like Shildpad said and hopefully it works.

wait wait wait.... you have unistalled the pirated version haven't you? you have to or else it will never validate the install because the regestry keys are already there.

Or you could try System Restore, and reset your system settings to an earlie date. (something like 2 months ago). That will get rid of anything you installed over the past two months (or what ever date you set it to) including the demo.
