You're right. I couldn't access the single player by using the launcher provided by CnC, so I downloaded this one: https://www.moddb.com/games/cc-generals/downloads/new-fixed-ultimate-collection-launchers-v101a
According to the dev, the warnings are false alarms.
I have tried to install the CNC client so I can play C&C RA2. However, a trojan warning came up after the installation for RA2Launcher.exe. Is this a false positive?
