Installing Age of Empires III on Mac OS Lion

[Discombobulated]

Hi everyone, I just bought Age of Empires III for Mac but after installing and updating it the program keeps on "quitting unexpectedly" right after the splash screen. I am running Mac OS Lion so I know there might be compatibility issues considering AoE III is a pretty old game. The most recent update is supposed to make it work on Lion (but not for me). So does anyone know if I need to install it in a specific way? Is there anything I can do to overcome this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!
