When I press RA.exe I get this Screen:

20230616_211558

Don’t know how I can fix this Issue

I was having the same issue. I can't explain it but if my ZIP file contains the expansion discs (Counterstrike and The Aftermath), even if they are not installed, I get this error.

I solved it in two ways: 1) Remove the expansion discs from the ZIP file. The base game will then start. 2) Extract all the discs from the ZIP file and load using an M3U file instead. This allows me to install and play the expansion discs as well.

I did something simmlar to Number 2

Unzipped them and loaded from Disc 1 and then added the other Disks from Disk Control thru Retroarch

I recommend closing this, as it's not a bug with the emulator, rather the setup of the images being used by the Author. C&C Red Alert for DOS runs absolutely fine if using an image from legit media.

As I told you in the RetroArch forum.

The problem is with eXoDOS, it is preconfigured for DOSBox standalone and it is common for it to give problems in PURE.

You need to unzip, ignore a folder and compress, leaving the files in the root so that they load in C. Even so, it is possible that something does not work.

It is recommended to do the classic installation from a disk, just make sure that the disk is CUE+ Bin simple.
