I have an older digital download version (ex-EA Store, Direct2Drive…).

  1. Make sure you have installed DirectX 9.0c by these guidelines before proceeding.
  2. Mount the ISO you got with Daemon Tools / PowerISO / MagicISO or equivalent tool, or insert the disc to your DVD drive. See this guide for more information on what this means.
  3. If you are not using Windows XP, exit the autorun and run EASetup.exe from the disc as administrator.
  4. Install the game as you normally would.
  5. If you are not using Windows XP, browse to the directory you installed the game to and set ra3ep1.exe to always run as administrator.
  6. Run the game.

I have the Origin version bought separately.
