...but it wasn't that easy in the first run.

The installer (setup) won't run under W2K,
regardless if you activate W95 compatibility mode or not,
as suggested in
http://www.planetcnc.com/features/techtroopers/classicsInXP/

Maybe the US versions of CCGold have a different installer,
but my German installer version definitely won't work under W2K.

So I made a clean install under W98SE,
copied the whole C&C95 directory structure to my W2K machine,
and applied the Westwood 'CCGold XP patch',
which only replaces a local C&C network play dll.
Then, and only then, it works under W2K.

Hope this helps somebody who had similar problems.

Raymond


BTW: Maybe HeXetic adds this solution variant to his page ?
