DirectX error when installing red alert 2

Hello,

      I've recently purchased the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection, i am currently experiencing issues when installing Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge and any game older than that. After downloading when i select "Install" it goes all the way to 25% then gives me a DirectX error message. Any idea how to fix this ?

    OK I've found the Cure to this problem, I don't know about XP users, but this works for Win 7 and win 8.1

    Go to your Origin games folder: normally found this way.

    Program files (x86) / (x64) > Origin Games >Command and Conquer red Alert II > _Installer > DirectX > Redist

    Once in there Delete everything except these 3 files
    DSETUP.dll
    dsetup32.dll
    DXSETUP

    The above 3 files should be the only files that remain in your Redist Folder.
    Once that is done go back to Origin game Launcher and Try reinstalling the game, It should install with no hassle.

    Turn off your antivirus during installation that'll solve the problem.
