Red alert 2 will not install

[555_Soul_555]

Hello, Recently I bought a new laptop for college, I have been trying to install Red Alert 2 on it, as I am a huge fan of the game. 

I have the physical disks for both the soviet and the allied campaign, 
At any rate I will run the installer ( I have tried both disks) then I get the UAC "do you want to let this program make changes to your computer" ( the publisher and source are unknown.) 

I click "yes" I hear the Hdd and the CD drive bay speed up for a few minutes then nothing, I check task manger, nothing Ra2 installer isn't running, just the usually background programs.

When I installed on Win 7 I was able to use the command "sec stop secdrv" in command prompt to install Ra2 and Yuri's Revenge.

However when I tried to do this for win 10, command prompt spat out an error "the service has not been started"!

Sooo any assistance would be awesome!!

Thank you!!

Sincerely Ben Bower

Hi thanks for asking this question.Please make sure that you are running the installer as admin by right clicking on the exe file and then choosing run as administrator.If this doesnt work then please wait for a response from the dev team thanks.

This is not possible on Windows 10, as the installer simply refuses to work.

 

Please refer to these guides for installing:
