i get this message after installing
first aoc
then aoc conq
then aoc hd on steam
and tried to close all programs

There was an exception! Make sure you don't have the game running, or have any game files opened, then try running the installer again.
If this still happens, please pass this error on to Jineapple: basic_string::_M_replace_aux
