Age of Empires II Install probs

Wierd one this.
I've just purchased Age of Empires II Gold for Macintosh, but I am having a problem running the game after installation. Every time I click on the AoE 2 icon to play, I get this message:
"The path HD 2.9Gb B:Age of Empires II Gold contains a slash (/), backslash (\) or period (.). Please remove the character from the appropriate Folder's name and try again."
The developers don't seem to know the answer. Does anyone else? Thanks.

Just a shot in the dark but it looks like the name of your harddisk is HD 2.9Gb. Note the period in 2.9? On a PC the Primary Master is C: regardless of the volume label but on a Mac, the volume name is used in the path. You will have to rename the Drive to something like HD 2_9Gb (no .\,/) and will have to alter the preferences of the game or reinstall it.
