This is what happens when you run C&C red alert's installer on WineVDM Stable.

In version 169, it does start with a splash screen, but then it gets stuck, and the command line disappears.

This is the error message now.

fixme:module:LoadModule_wine_implementation 1256: Strange error set by CreateProcess: 740

"Strange error set by CreateProcess: 740" means ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED. I think that this installer is about to start a 32-bit installer that requires administrator privileges. In this case, I fixed to display UAC.

So the installer works, but only if you launch it from the launcher and not running setup.exe directly (same with running the game). Now the problem is the uninstaller doesn't work, meaning it's stuck on the user's computer.
