Hi Everyone I'm new here.
I want to play Red alert Retaliation, one of the better Dosgames from earlier:p
If I start it up i get to the beginscreen, but when I want to install it doesn't work.
Anyone knows how this comes?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Just asking, why don't you want to play the Win95 version of RA?

Ah, that doesn't tell us much, is it?
Maybe post:
-> Dosbox version
-> Your mount lines
-> install inputs/choices
-> inputs when trying to run the game
-> exact error message(s) if any.
Detailed please.
Maybe we will be able to tell you where you went wrong if we have some detailed and relevant info from you.

Got your PM, but I don't do private help, help is giving in the forum, so that others can benefit from it if needed.
If I would do private help via PMs I wouldn't do anything else anymore .......
