installing red alert 2 with the original cd's

[ozzy55]

I found my old red alert 2 cd's today but cant get it to work. Does anyone know by any chance how to install the original red alert 2? i have looked trough the forum but i couldnt find anything. The game installer does open but doesnt do anything after pressing install.   Thank you for your help!:D

I know this is an older thread, but here's to people who'll find this.

The copy protection used on the disc is not compatible with windows 10. There might be workarounds but I couldn't find any

Hi Heke,
 

I had the original cd's as well (not Yuris revenge) but don't have a drive anymore.
Followed this thread.

Bought a key from CD keys website yesterday for 5 euro. Connected the code to Origin and could play in 15 minutes. That is easier than all the trouble with cd's :-)
