Red Alert CnCnet doesn't work?

[hey_beter]

So, me and my brother are trying to play Red Alert of CnCnet LAN. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and i'll explain what happens...

I play mine on an old Vista laptop, my brother is on an even older XP laptop. Mine runs fine but his doesn''t at all. The menu showing all the diferent modes like Online, Skirmish, and LAN pop up but when he clicks on LAN (Or Online) it says Update Failed, Please check your conection and Anti-Virus and Firewall settings... Configuration System failed to Intialize. Then the box will pop up with the Nickname and three gamemodes check boxes. If LAN is selected then it rejects it and moves it to Online. Logging into online shows to error windows (Exact copies) saying Error Occured, please give the log file to FunkyFr3sh, Configuration System failed to initialize. CnCnet will then open along with another error box saying CnCnet 5 client has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.  And then everything closes.

I found out when i open my CnCnet to LAN a black box with text opens for LAN games (CnCNet.LAN.IrcD.Server). His does not, when i go into his files to open the application for the black text box it opens and instanly an error message appears saying Irc.D .server encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Then it closes.

Any help is appreciated. It used to work for both of us a while back, idk what happened.

(Yes, I have allowed Firewall, Anti-Virus, and Re-Installed it.)

Well... why don't you attach the log file?

The LAN server will only start for one of you, that's normal. The one that opens CnCNet in LAN mode first will become the server, everyone else who starts CnCNet afterwards will connect to the server running on the other PC.

 

"Configuration System failed to initialize" is a error related to the .NET framework, it's not about CnCNet. I Assume other programs using the same .NET version will fail for him too.

I guess some program messed up your config file, you will have to check google and try a few things to fix it:

Step 2. and 3. here look interesting: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/configuration-system-failed-to-initialize-windows-10-solved/

 

You can also try to re-install the .NET framework, if it offers you a option to "Repair" then use that one, otherwise go through the whole installation again:

Thank you so much! It's a miracle!
