8 years agoFirst Decade help
Similar issue to https://answers.ea.com/t5/C-C-The-Ultimate-Collection/Command-amp-Conquer-The-First-Decade/m-p/7752/highlight/true#M169, except I always got a "cyclical overflow error" when trying to install Tiberium Sun, Renegade, and Generals and the installer would crash out.
I followed the steps up to where it says to try renaming InstallShield, and now it won't even launch the installer when I click the option in the Autorun page. I've tried to reinstall InstallShield from https://answers.ea.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/cc-4-tiberian-twilight/message-id/support.installshield.com/kb/files/Q108322/InstallShieldEngineUpdate1100.exe, but it won`t let me view the page.
Seriously, all I wanted to do was play "Renegade" without buying it on Origin; that would make 3X i purchased it.

Um.... that's pretty basic stuff, though.
- Open your file explorer, go to the DVD drive, right click it, and in the menu that appears, select "Open".
- Open another explorer window, go to some general folder like My Documents, right click in it, select "Create new folder" and give it a name you'll recognise (like "first decade"), and open it.
- Select all the files in the DVD drive window, and drag them into the new folder.
- Wait until the copying is done, and double-click the setup executable in the folder where you copied it..
To run as administrator, don't double-click it but instead right-click the file, and in the popup menu, select "run as administrator".
After the installation process, the entire copied folder can be deleted from your hard drive.
