The iso file (upon being extracted from the compressed copy) appears as a .rar file. Everytime I tried opening the file, it would just decompress and I can't get it to run at all.

Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions (:

Don't try and open it, just mount it with MagicISO.

Hi everybody.
I have another problem with installing the free Red Alert: The installation doesnt start.

I have Windows Vista in German and follow the instructions (Virtual CD/DVD, check compability option). Then, when doubleclicking the setup file, after the Win Vista security check (to confirm that I started this operation..), nothing happens (no install window appears).

Can anybody help, please? Thank you!

Take a screenshot of the available files and attach it to your reply.

Set this to Windows 95 compatibility and then double-click it.
