OK. I finally wanted to try out red alert again, but my old disk was nowhere to be found. So I ask my friend if i can borrow his and make a copy with Alcohol 120%. I use a .iso image file to burn, and the CD SEEMS to be a 1:1(Bypass safedisc). When i press install on the splash screen, this small 10x10 white box appears on my desktop. Then it has a program fault('Setup.exe has to close, blah.') for Setup.exe. woot.

Someone help me, i love Red Alert 2 but error screws it up... :angry:

did you look for some XP patches ?
SP2 and XP in general break a lot of games.

I dont have SP2. Only gots SP1 cuz something required it, didnt really care about SP2.

I know that its something with the setup.exe, since it crashes everytime i attempt to install it.

So....no solutions? :wall: jeez. Meh.

Is it true that my problem is unsolvable???

does it have to do with using the .iso image instead of .bin and .cue(ive had many more successful burns with .bin and .cue than .iso.)?
