After tampering with a lot of files and downloads, I finally managed to get RA2 and YR working on my Windows 10 PC, so I thought I would make a guide for it to help my fellow C&C players.This guide should work for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 as well, but I can't confirm because I don't have any copies of those.You will need both original CD's (Allied and Soviet) and a working serial key to install RA2 with this guide. For Yuri's Revenge you need its own CD and serial key.You will need about 2 GB of disk space and 250 MB of downloaded files. Red Alert 2 Step 1. Installing the game filesInsert either Red Alert 2 CD (Allied or Soviet) in the drive. If the installation works without errors, you can skip to step 3.

If not, here is how to get around it.Create a new directory for Red Alert 2. The default directory for the CD installation is C:WestwoodRA2.Open the root directory of the CD by right-clicking on the drive in This PC and clicking Open. You can also use Explore CD in the RA2 Autorun.Copy the following files from the CD's to your new RA2 directory. All files must be placed in the same directory. Any idea why regfiles.net is down?I don't have the original registry files, but there should be a way to extract the registry entries from my computer which already has RA2 installed. I'll try and do that when I come home today.Edit: here's the RegEdit code. Replace USERNAME with your Windows username and C:WestwoodRA2 with whatever your game directory is (mind the double backslashes).Now, the trouble is: 34 does not simply stand for the RA2 and YR CD keys.
The installer (or the regfiles.net script) generates a different code from your CD key, which is something I don't know how to do. This won't prevent you from installing RA2 patch 1.006 and YR patch 1.001, but an EXE that checks your CD key will not work.
Luckily, the ones provided by XWIS should still work, so you can omit these CD keys altogether (delete the rows or just leave the dummy key in place).Save the code as a.REG file and run as administrator. BTW, this is on Windows 10.
