About This File
Modern systems are sometimes unable to run Age of Empire's original installer. Some people use portable installations of the game from when they could still install it. These scenarios cause issues with the installer for UPatch, a fan patch that contains bug fixes and improvements for modern operating systems. UPatch refuses to install if it can't find Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome installed through Windows' registry, and offers no option to simply extract the patch files to a directory.
This registry patch will write the game as being installed to the registry. Just place it it in the \GAME\ folder in the game's installation directory.
Instructions:
1. Place SETUPREG.EXE in \Age of Empires\GAME\
2. Run it, and a registry edit will be made to declare the Age of Empires install directory to \Age of Empires\GAME\ (UPatch looks for EMPIRESX.EXE and will complain if it doesn't find this file)
3. Run UPatch installer
