The main.mix contains only the video of one side either the soviets or the allies. The variant from FunkyFr3sh works fine however there remains one little problem.
The method from Sonarpulse unfortunately didn't work at all. Feel free to browse through the installer's source files to get the no-cd version of ra95.dat though. The installer contains a noCD exe, but only adds it if it detects TFD, since there's no easy way to check if a RA install is NoCD-complete, and the patch was never made to produce a nocd-capable game install anyway. In fact, I simply made them into 2 options you can enable in the installer. Since the expansions are just registry options to the v3.03 game, there's no need to install them. When it asks for a folder to install in, point it to the folder in which you copied the CD files. Download and run the Red Alert v3.03 installer.Copy the complete contents of the INSTALL folder of the game's CD (Allied or Soviet, doesn't matter which one) to that folder you made on your hard disk.Create a folder on your hard disk where you want to install the game.which is why I figured out a way to install without it: TLF contains 2 exe files - just use the TFD version for NoCD mode.ītw, for 64-bit systems, the basic installer on the CD won't work.
