Tried various things to get Red Alert Command &amp; Conquer working on my machine with windows Vista but like someone else on another post keep getting the error message RA95.exe - entry point not found with the detail as - &quot;The procedure entry point SMap_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll&quot;

I tried the things on the other posts but could not get access to the patch as mentioned in post 14236 or 33247</comment>

first thing is you need to make sure your drive is a DVD drive. If not it will not work. The second thing that I found works is to install each game by its self. Start with the first one on the list and install just that one. Once that is done you will have a file made for the game and can work with it from there if you have any more issues. You can then go to add and install each game by its self one at a time and it should work just fine. Hope this helps!</comment>

I have now got Red Alert working on Vista Home Premium - 

Install red alert as follows: 
open cd, setup95 folder, install.exe 
set compatibility mode on install.exe to win98/me 

Install Red Alert 1.08 patch: 
ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/redalert/updates/RA108USP.EXE 

Then set compatibility on RA95.exe (and all other .exe files in directory) as follows: 
mode: win 95
run in 256 colurs
run in 640x480 screen resolution 
disable visual themes 

+ With one additional step:

Download LAN Patch 1.1. Final from

http://www.understorm.net/cnc/lan/cnc95_ra1.php

Overwrite the existing thipx32.dll file in the C:\westwood\redalert directory

Double click on your RA95.exe with the cd still in the drive

Enjoy the game!</comment>

It took me a while to get it working, but I installed the XP Patch (which seems to work for Vista too) and then set it to Win95 Compatability mode under properties, ticking the following boxes as well:
Run in 256 colours (may run without, haven&#039;t tried)
Run in 640x480 resolution (may run without)
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

Having done all of that, I got it to work for me.</comment>

I had this problem, when I try to install the installer come up, (and I got past the &quot;you are running windows 6.0&quot; error), but now it keeps coming up with &quot;Not all the files necessary are present&quot; or something like that. I&#039;m confused. I&#039;ll keep trying to re-install and stuff like that. </comment>

This is in reference to Post #12053, Thanks for the link, it&#039;s great to play an oldie but goodie (Command &amp; Conquer Red Alert) I was wondering if you may know of a link that I may be able to install The first Command &amp; Conquer.  It sucks, moving from windows XP to Vista, and trying to find new ways to try to play old games such as C&amp;C.  I would appreciate if you could help, thanks again for the helpful link as well.</comment>

            <comment>Command and Conquer - The First Decade
When installing the game from the DVD, after the CD keys have been entered, the installer falls at the first hurdle while copying the game files to the hard disk - citing an &#039;incorrect function&#039;.

I acknowledge that this could be a driver issue, further research on a workaround is needed.

It may be possible to copy the game files from another computer, but there is no guarantee that the copy protection will work correctly (not tested yet).</comment>

            <comment>Almost all of the patches I have seen make the assumption that installation works. My installation cancels due to the fact that it is windows 2000 so I cant copy the file in the patch to the directory.</comment>
