Red Alert, The aftermath, Counterstrike DIRECT X SETUP ERROR

Hi doiin16,

I may possibly be able to help you with this. Could you go to the installation folder of the specific command and conquer you are trying to install, by default this will be C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Command and Conquer.

If you are using a 64 bit version of Windows replace Program files with Program files(x86).

Once here can you will see a number of folders, such as core, _Installer and HTML etc. Do you see a folder marked DirectX?

Thanks.

RIck.

[Moderator edit: fixed the path. Program Files is never under the user folder as far as I know. For reference, here's how to find your games folder]

Hi,

Is Red Alert the one you are having trouble with? I just want to make sure as I thought that it might have something to do with the DirectX folder being outsider the _Installer folder.

Just to be certain can you go into the DirectX folder - redist, once here there should be a number of archive files, can you let me know if any and or all of these files end in .cab?

Thanks.

Hi doiin16,

Yes that helps a lot thank you. First, logout and close Origin. Then I want you to create a new folder in the redist folder(call it anything you want). Arrange the folder by type to show all the .cab files together, then cut and paste the .cab files into that newly created folder.

This should leave the two .dll files, the setup file and your new folder.  Next step; log back in to Origin and try to install the game again.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks.
