Read the readme that came with the mod. Stuff you download that has no readme is probably something you don't want to trust, so in that case, just delete it.

While I enjoy watching this, let's speed it up a little

- What exactly does the readme tell you to do?
- And what exactly did you do?

[edit]Let's really speed it up.
What mod is this? Who made it? Should I move this topic to Gen Discussion?

Was it perhaps a Yuri mod? Is there a rules.ini lying in our game directory?

@Cannis: Just because you can, it doesn't mean you have to.

IT depends if the mod came with an installer, if it did, you'll have to launch the game through that.

If not, when you extract the mod files, make sure you click 'yes' on any 'do you want to overwrite ____.__?' alerts.

well first of what game is the mod for?

RA2 or YR?

* Next you need the patches for these games, you can get them from the westwood ftp folder.

* Then does it have a installer by XCC? If so you should just need to launch.

* Otherwise it should have a ecacheXX (XX standing for 01-99) and a MD after ecache if YR mod and a expandXX with md if YR.

* If its a newbee mod it will probably have loose ini files and a ecache file.
