Then go to the folder 'DOSBox' and run the batch file named 'DOSBox x.xx Options.bat'. To install the DOS version of Red Alert, we will first install ' DOSBox' that allows a machine to emulate DOS and emulate a virtual hard disk, a CD-ROM drive. Note : We have made this tutorial on Windows 7 64 bits but this solution also works under 'Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7' (32 and 64 Bit, if applicable). We'll explain a much cleaner method compatible with many old games coded in DOS (16 bit). Moreover, we scanned the file used by this solution and it turned out that there was an unknown virus or a virus ''. In the case of display problems is simply a compatibility issue with the new OS.Įven if a solution exists on the Internet to run this game directly under Windows, this solution is not recommended because it changes too much the game files and so it is not 'clean'. 16 Bits can only be used on an OS 16 or 32 bit (16 bit in compatibility mode). In the case of installation impossible, it is because this game was created at the time of DOS and it is encoded in 16 bits. If you have already tried to install 'Red Alert 1' in Windows Vista or 7, you had to realize that it was either impossible to install either graphics bugs were present in the OS.
