Got it sorted now. If people are still having trouble getting this to run I used red-alert_manager_0.98 and it works fine, just move the patch into the directory after it's been installed.
It might have something to do with having C&C95 that I downloaded recently. I shall have to wipe it all off and start again. Please if anyone can help that would be great.
It says i'm running windows and and that RA is a windows 95 product only.
i managed to get this play easy enough which is more than can be said for C&C Red alert. If someone can help me by replying on the red alert thread, thanks!
I am having problems installing this on Vista 32bit. I have tried what you suggested earlier but doesn't do anything. The patch says I already have the the patch when a dos prompt pops up(I downloaded the original C&C a while back and had to do similar things to get it to work) I click install...
