1. Can you confirm you have a folder called "Knights and Barbarians" in C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\My Games?
2. If yes, delete that folder. Then, paste the "Knights and Barbarians" folder (that is included with the download) to C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\My Games again.
3. Launch the game, does the error still happen?

Having the same civ selectable twice is how it should be, so the files in your Program Files folder should be fine. I'm 99% sure the error is caused by files in the My Documents folder...

i did exactly like that and still the error 0003: Could not compile file 'aiLoaderStandard.xs' occur T_T.. is it because i install the aoe 3 complete edition ? or is it because i put my aoe 3 in local disk d folder ?

Hmm, I don't really know (other people are better with install help)... You could of course try installing Aoe3 to C drive (that's where it's usually installed) and try again. Make sure you have TAD patched to 1.03 too.

Also, I have the Complete Collection as well so that shouldn't be the problem.

I've got my AoE3 copy installed on the D:\ drive as well, it shouldn't cause any problems.

Well, at least I can see you haven't installed the Prologue Patch 1 properly. Follow the instructions in the Readme and you should get that done right.
Also, try deleting ALL the files from your My Games\Age of Empires III\AI3 folder, if there are any.

Complete collection is from Steam, to work with Steam, you must
delete all the XMB. Files in Data folder.

The Steam folder is: C: Program Files\Steam\stemapps\common\Age Of Empires 3\bin
