HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

I bought my son this game for christmas, we use to play it a while back and never had a problem with it. I am not running window XP though and I was running ME on a different pc back then.... it keeps giving me C: DOCUME~1KeressLOCALS~1Temp94db_appcompat.txt error.... When I hit install it will act like it is starting to install then a tiny white square appears on my screen and I get that error.... any help would be appreciated. I have looked online for a soloution but can not find one as of yet... I have tried switching the compatibility.. nothing works.[/

Perhaps that account doesn't have full administrator privileges.

What do you mean? I bought the whole box set... with all the command and conquer games.... that should be fine right?

Which Cnc games did you buy because some of the older 1s wont work on XP.

It came with Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, Renegade. Tiberian Sun Firestorm

Judging by that error, it seems to me that the account on winXP doesn't have full access rights, meaning that you need to install and run the game with the first account made with XP. Or change the account access rights...

RA2 will work on XP, if i remember rightly the map editor for RA2 wont and i don't think there's a fix...

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

Nope thats not it... full access, Only access...

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

Make a backup of the appcompat.txt file and delete it. See if that works...

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

you sound like an adult but you still couldn't put this in the problems section?

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

And what exactly has that got to do with you, huh? If it hurts your feelers so much you have to make a post stating the obvious then report the post as being problematic...

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

i was stating that anyone could have put this in the right section.

but he didn't because he wanted it to be noticed.

i said it because i don't like seeing the rules broken.

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

Anyways, still having trouble Keress, or is it fixed?

Re: HELP! Installation Problems with RA2
 

Yeah, see if you can delete that file and try again.
