I founded my old cd of ra2 so i decided to install it under win 10.
Everything is fine game run good but im on original version (1.0) And when i click on rA2 update the patch is downloading but after i got error some old files is missing the game will not be patched until this files is missing.
Any clue?? For that? And there is a link for the old patch before xwis release the multiplayer version for the resolution patch. 1.006 patch etc ...?

Do you have the Yuri's Revenge disk too? If you do, you can install it and it should update your RA2 to 1.006 from what I remember.
Yep thx !
Uninstall windows 10 it is no good. Reinstall Windowns 7 instead !

Its installed in program86 and yes i tryed admin but was always the same error But i installed yuris and the auto patch of yuris worked and patch the 2 game Sry for my english i try my best lol
np. so everything works fine?
I have couple of friends who play ra2/yr under w10 and when they execute game.exe (not ra2.exe) it makes laggy in gameplay.
If they execute ra2.exe (menu doesnt appear). So they use ddraw.dll w/ file (14kb) to play in GR or chinese server (trade-off: menu transition is too laggy).

It doesn't. YR actually requires already patched files from RA2.
Uninstall windows 10 it is no good. Reinstall Windowns 7 instead !
Very helpful and on-point assistance right there 
Its installed in program86 and yes i tryed admin but was always the same error But i installed yuris and the auto patch of yuris worked and patch the 2 game Sry for my english i try my best lol
Install RA2 to a different location than Program Files OR disable the User Account Control in the Control Panel.

The "two" games, bro. Not just YR. 
Ummm:
Ask the YR modding community. I've even heard people taking patched files (language.mix, ra2.mix, maybe one or two more) instead of installing RA2 fully, placing them to a folder, installing YR over that, and it worked.
The YR disc doesn't have anything related to vanilla RA2 that would patch it to 1.006. Go check Game1.cab - Game6.cab in the Install folder within the YR disc, you'll see no files that are named ra2.exe, game.exe, ra2.mix or language.mix.

The Yuri's Revenge disk does in fact have the 1.006 RA2 patch.
Why are you even arguing, if the solution worked fine for him?
Take a look at the "Readme" file included on the disk:

GENERAL CHANGES & FEATURE UPDATES
General:
- In the Game Option screen, the Game Resolution setting only sets the in-
game (battlefield) resolution. The game shell screen resolution is locked
at 800 by 600 pixels.
- With the Short Game selected, Yuri's Slave Miner is excluded from the
winning condition.
- Now all players can see the infantry pips of any fortifiable civilian
building, regardless of which player garrisons it.
- When a unit is mind controlled, all players will see the initial mind-control
line from the controller to its victim.
- The T (unit-type select) and P (all-unit select) hot-keys will automatically
exclude units inside of a Tank Bunker.
- In Red Alert 2, sometimes a game would not end if the last remaining unit
were in a mind-controlled vehicle. Now, if this should happen, the unit
inside will be automatically killed, and the ex-owner of the captured unit
will be declared the loser.
- Tab-flash-for-readiness has been updated. The following features will
only flash the tab for a bit to inform the player when fully charged: Spy
Plane, Force Shield, Psychic Reveal.
- If playing behind a firewall, the preview maps do not get transmitted to
other players.
Units & Structures:
- Magnetron can only levitate vehicles, not infantry.
- The Brute is not allowed inside of an IFV. However, the Brute is allowed
inside other transports, but only as a passenger.
- The Hero units (Tanya, Boris, and Yuri Prime) are not allowed to use their
special attack from within the Battle Fortress.
- Kirov spinning every time it acquires an order/target is now fixed.
- Setting waypoints for planes from within the radar map has been disabled.
- Floating Disc will auto target and shoot any base defenses that are
powered (i.e. Prism Tower and Tesla Coil). However, the Floating Disc
will not auto target and shoot any base defenses that are not powered
(i.e. Pillbox and Sentry Gun).
- Psychic Dominator permanently "captures" its victims rather than just
mind controls them for a short duration. Once a unit has been psychic
dominated (purple halo on the unit), it can never be mind controlled again.
- Yuri Prime and Yuri Clone's psychic blast do not harm friendly units.
- Cloning Vats allow the player to make a second Hero unit (Tanya, Boris,
and Yuri Prime).
Multiplay:
- In the Westwood Online Quick Match and Quick Co-op games, the Super
Weapons setting is always on, and the Crates setting is always to off.
- In Team Alliance game mode, you must set your teams at the start. Once
the battle has started, you are not allowed to switch alliance.
- In Land Rush game mode, the Yuri player begins with a few Attack Dogs
among his starting units.
- In Skirmish: Battle mode, all AI players start out on the same team fighting
against the human player.
Other:
- Known problems with the Cirrus Logic 5464 video card:
- Systems with this device may experience the following problems: low
frame rate, slow movie playback, and audio distortion.
- Known problems with USB sound devices:
- There seems to be some sort of conflict with USB sound devices. If
using these devices, the game may load with no audio. Examples of
such devices: the Altec Lansing ADA70 USB Speakers, Microsoft
Digital Sound System 80 USB.
- Known problems with Ensoniq SoundScape and OPTI 82C 931:
- Systems with this device may experience the following problems:
some random audio stuttering and popping in game and movies.

the archive section below for additional information.
