is anyone can play this successfully?

Try Asciiwolf’s MS DirectMusic Core Services Installer here.

I also tried this fix from a RoN forum by a user named “Jerker”

I download this DirectX cab: http://www.4shared.com/file/43284382/3213bef2/DirectX.html

Extracted the contents, right clicked DMUSIC.INF chose Install. I then copied all the .DLL files manually to system32 then registered each one of them manually using regsvr32.

In command prompt…

cd windowssystem32
regsvr32 dmusic.dll
regsvr32 dwave.dll
etc…

The only thing I was unable to do was install the audio codecs from the setup INF file “mmdriver.inf” which is from a windows xp installation. I would imagine if I could sucessfully install those codecs that might solve the issue with no sound on menu screen/game. I can play the game fine just with no sound. Hope this helps.

thanks for your help,
but when i register the .DLL file using regsvr32,
all the file was failed to load.

I couldn’t get sound to work.

If you remove the dssl.dll file from the installation folder C:Program Files (x86)Rise of Nations, it should run without sound.

i removed the dssl.dll file,but the error still here.

I wasn’t referring to the error I was referring to the game itself.

Thanks a loooott!!

I was trying to play this game since Windows 2003 release :/

Works on Windows 2008R2 Standard SP1 :
-> Install last DirectX version (DirectX11 june 2010)
-> Install Asciiwolf’s MS DirectMusic Core Services
-> Remove dssl.dll from game directory

By my side game is totally working (sound everywhere :] )
