Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge instantly crash

I've been trying to play Red Alert 2 again for years after I bought TUC on Origin. Every other C&C game works fine, except for RA2 which crashes the instant you select to either play the base game or the Yuri expansion. After selecting which version to play, Origin pops right back up and is flashing on my task bar. I have Windows 10 and my specs are as follows

GPU: GTX 1080
CPU: Intel Core i7-6800k (3.40GHz)
RAM: 32GB

Recently I tried something new to try and get this game to actually launch, by attempting to launch it through Discord. This time, I got an error box. (attached below). If anyone knows where I can acquire this file safely, and knows if this is even the solution to my problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

    The error usually means the game isn't being ran from its own install folder, or isn't being ran with administrator rights. If it's a game folder thing, it's probably Discord's fault.

    To fix the administrator rights thing, go into the game folder, open the properties of all executable files in there and make sure they are all set to run as administrator.
