From the FAQ below

"Q. I encounter "Age of Empires III was not installed for allusers or
the current user. Please log in with the correct account. This setup
will exit." error, when installing WarChief's. What can I do?
1. Right-Click the Start button and select "Explore"
2. Navigate to the "All Users" directory, then "Start Menu", then
"Programs"
3. Create a directory called "Microsoft Games"
4. In that directory, create another directory called "Age of Empires
III"
5. Re-Run the War Chiefs install program. "

I had the same problem, but followed what Katy Pluta wrote and that fixed it
and I was able to install the War Chiefs Expansion Pack.
Thanks!
 
Having the same problem. Tried uninstalling, re-installing. Cleared the registry manually. Warchiefs demo installed no problem, but the actual game, bought new from a shop, says AOE 3 not installed. Please help, it's driving me mad!
