Go to Control Panel -> Windows Update -> Installed Updates. Search for the one that has KB3086255. Right-click on it and remove it. Reboot, then manually check for updates. Among the Important Updates, right-click on that KB number and click "Hide This Update".

Hi,

 

I did what you said, Delete KBxxx.

Reboot. Then did a update. I hided it (there was a cross, i deleted it). 

Then i tried to install the game.

 

Still do the game "Warning military software etc...". I click install. It seems searching for some seconds, the disc is making lap, but nothing happen.

 

An idea? I did a mistake somewhere?

Anyway, was too boring.

 

I installed Ra2 Multiplayer.

 

Then i would install Yuri's revenge from my disc, everything was ok, but everytime at 100% "Setup.exe has got error" and it closed the install.

 

So i installed Yuri Multiplayer.

 

Now i would like to have voice  (especially voices alert, i know it better than in english :p) and the text in french in the game.

 

Do you know which file i have to copy in Yuri folder from my disc? 

 

Thank you,

ZiGZaG, that's just the YR soundtrack. No voiceovers are found there.
 

Do you know which file i have to copy in Yuri folder from my disc?

 

To have a full experience of RA2 and YR, you'll need the following files:

From the RA2 Allied disc: maps01.mix, movies01.mix, multi.mix (unless you want to play on XWIS), theme.mix. For switching to French, also add lang.mix and overwrite the one you have installed.

From the RA2 Soviet disc: maps02.mix, movies02.mix.

From the YR disc: maps03md.mix, mov03md.mix, multimd.mix (unless you want to play on XWIS), thememd.mix. For switching to French, also add langmd.mix and overwrite the one you have installed.
