I downloaded Red Alert 2 from http://xwis.net/downloads/
Is there anything I forgot to mention?

Did you update it to 1.006?

@Renegade: The installer appears to come with version 1.006 (it says so in the main menu).
@DCoder: It was made by Olaf so I guess so, the installer doesn't ask for any serials but with XWIS' new (and retarded) login/registering system you'll have to register a name online via the XWIS control panel and associate it with a legit serial. The campaign doesn't work (which might be why Launch Base gives the error message).
I've asked my brother if he has non-broken Red Alert 2 CDs and he gave me working ISOs that he made RA2 a few years ago, so I got Launch Base running.

In other words, the weird-ass cracked XWIS version is the issue, not LB?
RE: "Red Alert 2 installation is damaged" error - Guest - 05.01.2011
Yup Launch Base works perfectly fine (tested the Red Ares mod with it and the UMP+plugins). LB's checks apparently refuse it to load.

Launch Base gives this error when you have no registry entries of any kind. Neither original nor TFD.
