I have the The First Decade version.
Although the installer of The First Decade enables you to select the games you wish to install, this guide assumes that you intend to install C&C: Renegade only. For a more complete solution, check out the guide titled Fully Updating The First Decade.

- Insert your The First Decade disc to your DVD drive.
- If you are not using Windows XP, exit the autorun, and run setup.exe on the disc as administrator.
- Follow the instructions on the screen. Choose a custom installation, and for the time being, select C&C: Renegade to install.
- If you did not disable User Account Control on your computer, install The First Decade to a folder which is NOT Program Files (x86).
