Age of Empires on my PPC (v. help)
I have been trying to install my AoE for a while now. I love this game for the PC so I got it and now it wont install. I am upset by this because it listed the PPC 6700 as a compatible device. Here is what I am running
The new verizon update rom w/ 1.43 radio phone alarm and weather plugin Here is what it does. I click the installer and continue through it until I get to that screen where it usually would say "check the screen to see if there are any more instructions...." but that doesnt show up, instead it just shows the list of programs on my ppc and i click ok, then finish and install ends as if it is fine, but AoE is not on my ppc. In fact, nothing changes on the PPC screen at all, as if it doesnt even recognize the installer. I hope you guys can help me, I'm kinda a noob but I am getting better. thats pretty much it. I dont see why this wont work... Anyone play this game and can give me any insight? dang i feel like a jerk for askin so many questions

You could try getting a .cab version of the installer from wherever you bought the program. Or search your desktop computer for the .cab file during the installation process (I think they are sometimes stored under Program Files\Microsoft Activesync). Good luck.

Nope no cab program found. It wasnt stored in the active sync folder during the install. Maybe since AoE is originally a microsoft program they made it not to work with the newest active sync. Gah its making me mad, hopefully I get a refund.

If you don't click install when it shows up on the screen asking you where you want it to install to you can find the cab.
So when that screen shows up. Switch over to Total Commander and search for *.cab and select "Not older than: 1 day(s)" If you don't have total commander you can most likely find it at: \Application Data\Volatile\ But again. This has to be while the install screen is still up. It deletes the cab after its done installing. I don't exactly know if this works with AoE, but it has worked with every program I've tried.

I said that nothing changes on my PPC screen. It never asks me where I want to install it, it only partially acts like it is installing from the desktop's view. I think its a problem with the installer vs. active sync version because only certain programs have had this problem for me.
I'm just not sure how to fix it.

Installed fine. BUT....
Just realized something. It first copies that huge 8M file to your ppc before it attempts to install. I'm almost willing to bet $ that you don't have 8M available on your phone. Check that....
