Red Alert 2 and Windows XP
This is a discussion about Red Alert 2 and Windows XP in the Windows Games category; I am running Windows XP Pro with service pack 2. I am trying to install Red Alert 2 and am receiving the following error: Setup. exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have installed other software this past week and the system has been running smoothly.
I am running Windows XP Pro with service pack 2. I am trying to install Red Alert 2 and am receiving the following error: "Setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have installed other software this past week and the system has been running smoothly. I have been to Westwood support and tried the compatibility wizard to no avail. Has anyone encountered this before? Please tell me there's a fix for this; I'd prefer not to reinstall Windows.

Normally I wouldn't mind so much but there seems to be a rash of people posting without even looking at the forums. So please don't take this the wrong way but there are more than 20 different posts on here about your situation. Just search for Red Alert and I am sure you will find your answer.
You should never have to reinstall windows to play a game.
Is RA2 version you have from the first decade set?
