Unable to install Age of Empires 2 definitive edition on my D drive

Gianmabatt · Jan 19, 2022

I've been trying to move AOE 2 DE from the C drive to the D, because I have 70 gb in C but 130 in D.

Since I'm looking forward to buying AOE 4, I wanted to check if I could install a game in the D drive. However, once downloaded, I cannot manage to install it there because failed creation of directory. I changed the default storage of apps and programs from C to D, I tried many solutions present on the web but none worked.

And yes, my D drive is formatted into NFTS.

Any possible help would be appreciated since I would love to buy AOE 4, but if I cannot manage to install it, then would be wasted money.

Hi Gianmabatt,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are wanted to play Age of Empires II and storing it on Drive D. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming.

We have found a support article that will help you - How do I move my game to a different hard drive? – Age of Empires Support. Please note that moving your game off the C: drive may result in performance issues. If you notice a negative impact on your game, consider moving it back to your primary hard drive. Your Save files, Recorded Games, and Crash Reports will still save to your C: drive, and MUST remain there to be accessible in-game.

Press the Windows key and search for Apps & features.
Select Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
Click the Modify/Move button.
Choose a new drive from the drop-down menu.
Click Move to automatically move the game to a new home.

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

I have the same problem, unable to "Gaming Service" && "Age of Empires Definitive Edition Bundle". Both give me "0x803FB005" error!

I've tried on 2 different computer with the same store account.

Spend my day to try everything, thank you Microsoft for that waste of time and money... However, everything's was fine for the payment of win10 and the game

EDIT --

Eventually, out of nowhere, a message to tell me that "Gaming Service" has been installed. Look's like that Age of empire is now downloading to...

EDIT 2 --

It still doesn't work on my second computer...
