windows 8

just trying to get the game going on new computer

Non-DirectPlay game path is 'c:\program files (x86)\voobly\gamedata\aoc'
Verifying 'c:\program files (x86)\voobly\gamedata\aoc\language_x1.dll' exists...
Failure!

The file was not found at the location the registry said it should be. The registry keys need to either be fixed or the game needs to be moved to the proper location.

Age of Empires II - The Conquerors Expansion [found]
Game was found in DirectPlay registry!
DirectPlay play thinks the game is installed at 'c:\users\sleepy\downloads\age of empires 2'
DirectPlay command line is 'Lobby'
DirectPlay play thinks the game exe is at 'c:\users\sleepy\downloads\age of empires 2\AGE2_X1\age2_x1.exe'
Failure!

age2_x1.exe needs to be in the age2_x1 directory and not in the root game directory. The one in the game directory needs to be deleted.
but i dont know were root game directory is

Your game installation path is totally wrong: c:\users\sleepy\downloads\age of empires 2, it should be on your system Program Files under Microsoft Games folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II. so your game registry files will update on your system.

So to fix your issue, first completely uninstall & delete your old game directory folder and reinstall your game following this article below:

2. #KB1037 How to install The Age of Conquerors.
