Burning Red Alert 2
 

I am having a lot of trouble burning Red Alert 2. I borrowed the actual game from a friend. Everytime I try burning it I get an error. Do i need a patch or a special program or something?

tell us first what kind of error you get!

u know what all u need is follow the directions in gcw if u dont understand it. u can ask me. send me a private message or something like that.

I managed to burn the CD. I used BlindRead to make an iso of it then burned it with CDRwin. But when I try to install I get an error that says: "Setup has caused an error in ~DF394B.TMP Setup will now close"
"If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer"

I tried restarting, and I still got the same thing.

I follwed the instructipons on gcw and autorun worked ok but when i clicked omstall it said insert cd. Is this the same kinda probelam as this bloke is having.

Follow these instuctions and you are laughing:

1. Copy all the contents of the allied cd to c:\windows\temp\cd. You will have to create this directory

2. Next unzip the file ra2_allied_crack to the directory (c:\windows\temp\cd) You can download this file at the GCW website. Its one of the two copy cd files. (One is allied the other is soviet)

3. Go to the temp directory: c:\windows\temp\cd then open the setup folder. Click on the crack_allied.bat file. This will run the crack. You will get a message saying:

Access denied
Duplicate file name or file in use
Please delete crack_allied.bat and burn the CD with the label: RA1

Close the window and delete crack_allied.bat. You can also delete the instructions.txt file in the c:\windows\temp\cd directory for you will no longer need these files

4. Bun the contents of the c:\windows\temp\cd directory to the cd and MAKE SURE you change the label of the cd to RA1. When done delete the cd folder

5. After the cd is burned repeat steps 1-4 with the soviet cd this time using the crack_soviet.bat you downloaded from GCW.

6. After both cd’s are burned you can use either to install the game. I used the allied.

a) Put the allied cd into the cd rom. If autoplay pops up, just close it you can’t install it from there
b) Open windows explorer, open your cd rom drive, (it will have the label RA1 if you burned it properly)
c) Then open the setup folder and run the file setup_allied
d) Installation will continue as normal from here. After the installation, go back to explorer, open the crack folder on your cd and copy the RA2.exe file to your Red Alert 2 directory on your hard drive
e) The game should run normally

Good luck
