Cannot install AOE from Windows Store

NiharMallick98 · Aug 7, 2021

I bought this version of AOE II last year and have been playing it occasionally on my PC that is on Windows 10 Pro 19043.1151

Recently when I tried launching the game, it did not work. I tried various steps to reset it and then uninstalled it. After that, from Windows Store I though I could reinstall, but I could not. Again I tried many things suggested on various blogs and Q&As; like wsreset and running commands like these.

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

None of them work. When I click on the "install" button, nothing happens; the button just disappears. The game never really gets installed.

If I select some other games like temple run, they get installed, but not AOE.

Any suggestion that I can try out?

No error codes.

Nothing at all. The "install" button just disapears.

Hello @NiharMallick98!

Is there any error codes or messages when you download the game?

It is not necessary, once you finish the procedure, try to install the game again.

In progress...

Am I supposed to keep all the apps intact or do some change related to Windows Store?
