    Thank you for the nice long post, it was useful to refer to in solving my problem with getting CnC3 working. (I too had the "Fatal Error: Exception in exception handler")

    I found a solution that worked for me. It seems like many people are linking the re-distributable pack 9 from 2010 as a driver solution, which works some of the time and not others according to the forum replies. It certainly did not work on my computer.

    I found a similar solution on the steam forums, and it got my game working:

    For those with Intel graphics, the solution is not DirectX, but an older version of the Intel graphics driver. This is Intel's fault, not Microsoft's.

    I have an i7 Surface Pro 3 with an Intel HD5000 graphics card inside.

    To fix my Kane's Wrath problem, I went to driverscape.com, then Intel, then Graphic Video Cards, then Intel(R) HD 5000, then looked for version 10.18.10.3643.

    Downloaded the driver, ran it, overwrote the new driver with the older version, rebooted, and Kane's Wrath worked again!!
     
     
    I tried this and the game now works on my computer with no problems.
    I'm running a Asus X555L laptop with windows 10.
    For the record, I'm running Tiberium Wars (no Kane's Wrath) from a DVD retail version of the game (no Steam).

This where the answers for a possible fix to the problem I got from chat support. I have collected all the links I got from including the answer you gave with DirectX end user from June 2010. I only included possible fixes which helped for others. Since installing win 7 with a dual boot on my win 10 worked, I shared it with others.

@therealmrtimm Hmm. I just realized that given the fact the issue is a crash when handling an exception, that implies that the real crash message can't be seen. In other words, this isn't one issue, it's a load of different issues that fail to give the user their error message because of the exception handler bug. That does make it rather hard to give tech support on -_-

Mind you, on your specific issue... virtual machines are generally a much simpler workaround for running games on a different OS than making a dual boot.
