The problem isn't actually Age of Empires specific. It requires original dvd to run, but wheter the media is in drive or not, the error message is drawn:
A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (7000).
Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000 for further, more detailed information.

If you are using a tool which offers the option to hide your virtual drives, please make sure that this feature is disabled so that the default settings are restored. You might need to re-install such tools to get this problem fixed.

Also upgrade Wine - your version is too old already.
Make sure you have access to the cd-rom/dvd-rom device (if you cah read files from mounted cd/dvd does not mean you have access to the device itself (the one under /dev/ ).
