The Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings PC game demo was released on October 16, 1999, which was about two weeks after the release of the full version of the game. At the time of its release PC game demos were a tool that gave developers/publishers the opportunity to entice gamers into purchasing their game. The Age of Empires II Age of Kings demo offered (and technically still offers) players the chance to experience the game before having to purchase it. It was first made available via the Microsoft Age of Empires II website and was also released in CD format by a number of PC gaming magazines such as PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World and third-party hosting sites.
The Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings demo offered a few gameplay options that give gamers a good indication of gameplay and features available. Game content included in the demo was the William Wallace learning campaign which served as the tutorial mission for the full version. In addition to the William Wallace tutorial mission, the Age of Empires II demo also includes a random skirmish game against AI opponents and a four-player multiplayer game on a random map. This multiplayer portion of the demo will require some extra steps in order to play. Age of Empires II unitized MSN Gaming Zone for match-matching and this game, as well as the original Age of Empires, has been retired from MSN Games. In order to play online via the demo players will have to download and install GameRanger which is the online gaming application used to support multiplayer capability for older games.

For those who can't run this: use old Mac with Mac Classic (up to 9.2.2) OS or MacOS X 10.4 with classic environment.
If not possible - use an emulator like Basilisk II (680x0, up to OS 8.1) or SheepShaver (PPC, up to OS 9.1).

For those of you asking for an update: it is not possible.
This is a PPC application and will not run on Intel Macs that don't support Rosetta. So it can't be run on Lion and forward.

I've read that the windows version of this game won't work on W7 and newer - apparently it's the architecture of Windows that's changed too much
jas2016-07-06-6 points
When I double click on the updater, it says '...you must first locate the original Age of Empires II aplication on your hard disk.' Does anyone know how to get past this? Thanks

sounds like is sucks. if i was going to get a disc, i'd get it from a legitimate source.
sorry to disspoint, but i am going to keep looking for a good download. plus, if you want to play this with a friend, you would have to get a PC, or go through more work.

I'm having the same issue. I try to open with Stuffit and it won't let me save it anywhere. Also, I've gone and downloaded Sheepshaver, is that what I'll need to play this if it ever works?
