Beckett 0 Posted March 19, 2002 I can't get Red Alert to work in XP. I followed the advice on the site to use the DOS installation but that wont work either (not that it should). Anyone got any ideas? I can't beleive Westwood haven't done an XP Patch! This game is a legend! Share this post Link to post
OLEerror 0 Posted March 19, 2002 They don't have an XP patch because they want you to buy Red Alert 2. I was able to install it fine using the Windows Install. You have to install the expansion games, though. Installing just the original won't work. Share this post Link to post
Beckett 0 Posted March 19, 2002 Well I don't have the expansions and at the end of the day Red Alert isn't Red Alert 2 like Dune 2000 is Dune II. Share this post Link to post
OLEerror 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Ahh, that's the problem then. You can pick up the entire Demolition Pack for about $9 these days. Check the bargain bins. And Westwood has re-released it in a bargain pack. Share this post Link to post
Duncan 0 Posted March 29, 2002 You have to use compatibility mode to run the install program. Once installed D/L the latest patch (I think it is 1.009) and apply it. After that it should work fine. If you have any other problems I would go post on the PlanetCNC forums (www.planetcnc.com). Share this post Link to post
