I recently uninstalled Age of Empires III, along with its expansion, The
Asian Dynasties. However, when I try to uninstall The Warchiefs expansion,
the installation wizard opens, and after clicking "Next>", an error message
comes up that reads,
"Unhandled Exception
Error Number: 0x80040702
Description: failed to load: DDL: Firewallinstallhelper"

Setup will now terminate.

I would really like to uninstall then reinstall The Warchiefs expansion.
Please help if you can.

this is stupid. i buy a game. while installing it lose power, so have to
uninstall it. now i can not reinstall it to play it. i even thought about
calling micro soft but to do so they want $35.00. talk about a rip off,
another micro soft scam i guess.

You can use their free technical support, just ignore when it asks you to
pay for their "Premium", just go right through to the free service. :)

I've tried that, and I can't seem to do it.

if you explore the game cd on the main page look for the windows installation
package (icon looks like a monitor&cd) not the autorun or setup icons, right
click the icon&repair, then go into your control panel--ad&remove programs
and tell it to remove warchief-- then restart the cd and it should install as
normal
