The Ultimate Collection works for most people... There are plenty of bugs but for most people it works somewhat...
Anyway, did you try running in admin mode?
yeah i was excited to get this package too. and totally dissapointed as many of the games dont work on win 7 (even after spending hours on work around configurations).
I later found out you can download most of the older games for free, up to red alert 2 i think? and since they aren't through origin they are all playable and able to be configured properly.
what a scam.
