Could you possibly distribute how you got it to install? I'd like to see if I could at least get it that far. Maybe work on it a bit in my spare time. Thanks!

I am getting a 404 error on this link. Do you have any other way I can get that? I've tried three different ddraw.dll files, and only one of the three has made the game intro show up. The other two do nothing. So I'm guessing that is part of the problem. With the .dll that makes the intro show up, I can't see any of the menu options or game prompts, so I'm still unable to play.

I broke down and bought the Origin pack since they have a 24 hour return policy. The game installed without any problems from there. However, now that I have the game installed, I go to launch it, and I can hear the sound, but the screen just continues to show my desktop. When I click in thin air, I can hear the menus switching, so the program is running. I just can't see anything! All of the help I can find says that you need to do something with detecting a new monitor, etc. etc., but that process does not work on Windows 10. It just tells you there are no other monitors and that is the end of it. Any suggestions? If I don't hear anything soon, I'm going to have to return the game.

Hey all, I just stumbled upon this forum. Good to see there are others out there that enjoy the classics. I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and while going through some of my old games, I found my C&C Red Strike (RA2 and YR combo pack). I have tried installing the game, but when I install, I keep getting an error saying "An older version of OLEAUT32.DLL exists on your system. RA2 requires this file to be updated" I checked on the file, and it is from August 2015, so it doesn't need updated. The error continues on to say "If you continue without updating, you will need to run VBRUN60.EXE from the Setup directory and reboot your system before running the game." When I try to run VBRUN, I get an error saying "Error loading W95INF32.DLL" - I went out and got that file from a downloader on Microsoft's website. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of. I've changed every .exe file on the CD to run in compatibility mode. Before I did that, nothing would happen at all. So I've made some progress, but I'm stuck pretty good. Any ideas of how I can proceed? Thanks!
