Install Tips for Age of Empires Collector's Edition:
1) Windows 10: DirectPlay (Windows legacy feature) is required and installed automatically in most cases the first time you launch an AOE game (if not installed beforehand). If using Avast Antivirus please disable this prior to the DirectPlay install as this appears to interfere with the DirectPlay install. 2) If setup does not start automatically when you place the Game DVD in DVD-Rom Drive then you will need to double click on the setup.exe files located on the game Disc to start the install process for each game.
