RA "unexpected error creating registry keys"

Recommended Posts

Running XP Home

Installed RA with raxpfix.zip and followed the instructions- worked great.

Ran 3.03 patch, installed, now RA doesnt work.

I receive two errors when opening RA:

1st: "Unexpected error creating registry keys! Please contact Westwood technical support"

2nd: "Installation of Shared Internet Components was not completed."

 

Any ideas? (I tried searching for this topic- couldnt find anything, so sorry if I overlooked it)

The RA 3.03 patch was an untested beta release to be used at your risk. Its problably the cause of problems.

 

Uninstall Red Alert, make sure all the files from your WestwoodRedAlert folder are deleted. Then reinstall the game and patch it using the 1.08PE update.

There are two versions of the 303 patch for Red Alert, only one of which works. You want the manual patch. The automatic patch will not work.

 

Try uninstalling everything and try again with the manual patch.

 

I haven't yet got this to work but some chap called Tim "HeXetic" Gokcen has created this amazing article giving very specific details here;

This really looks like the business and I'm going through it now.

 

Cross fingers and all the best for any others out there!

 

 

PS) I'm aware this thread is old but people such as myself are still looking for solutions and it will help others who come across it through search engines.
