C405129 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Red alert 2's expansion isnt installing. It says that red alert 2 isnt installed but it is. It used to work on this machine. But 2 months ago I uninstalled it and i have tried reinstalling RA2 about 4 times with no success. I am starting to think its a lost cause. The autorun wants me to install it again but RA2 works fine if i run it from it's default directory whitch is C:\Westwood\RA2 on its 2nd attempt. But i keep my games at C(or D):\Games\ if thats any help. Based on a working install at a friends house there is nothing of interest in the registry. Share this post Link to post
XGhozt 410 Posted January 21, 2007 Whats the error, are there anything we have to go off of? Whats preventing it from installing it, there must be something, does it just close? Share this post Link to post
C405129 0 Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Here is a screenshot of the error. I have looked on the games disc but there is no alternative installer. Edited January 21, 2007 by C405129 Share this post Link to post
XGhozt 410 Posted January 22, 2007 It appears that this is the second game, or expansion ro the first. So you need to install the first game first. if you don't have it, then this means that you need to go buy and install the first game before you can install this one. Share this post Link to post
C405129 0 Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) the 1st game is installed. it used to work. the auto for the origonal game also shows it as "install" but it works if i run it from the .exe. and it is an old game. i havent seen it in game shops for ages. EDIT: i am starting to think it is a lost cause. Edited January 22, 2007 by C405129 Share this post Link to post
