FunkyFr3sh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Do you have any security programs installed? Anti-virus/Firewall/Sandbox? Make sure those program are not blocking the installer Is there any error message? Are you sure it really stucks, it could take a few minutes to extract the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyFr3sh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can you try the Mini-Web installation option to see if that one works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdg Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 yeah sure, let me try and will let you know ...... ok... mini web install its working like a charm... is there any way i can add the singleplayer missions to this installation?

FunkyFr3sh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I was just reading that there is a bug in the tools i used to create the installer, a resouce (GDI objects) leak that breaks the installer after a runtime of about 50minutes. I never noticed that since my connection is fast and the download takes only 10-15min. How long does it take for you to download the files for the full installation? You could try to uncheck the "install cd2" box and the download should only take half the time, maybe that is going to fix the problem Adding singleplayer to the mini install would be an option too Edit: Here is how you can do a full install using the freeware files directly: 1. Download both cds via your browser: (EU Server) http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/freeware/RedAlert1_AlliedDisc.rar (EU Server) http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/freeware/RedAlert1_SovietDisc.rar Or: (US Server) ftp://ftp.cncnet.org/redalert/RedAlert1_AlliedDisc.rar (US Server) ftp://ftp.cncnet.org/redalert/RedAlert1_SovietDisc.rar 2. Start RA1installer and choose Full CD-Install 3. In the next menu select the folder where you downloaded the 2 .rar files and hit ok Let me know if it worked!
