[Solved] Running Red Alert 2

Does any one have a working installation thingy of Red Alert 2?  I checked the Wine AppDB and apparently wine version 1.5.15 is supposed to work the best with RA2, but after creating a wine prefix for that version of wine--via q4wine--I still can't seem to get RA2 to run or install. 

(I was having trouble getting it to install yesterday so I went and ahead and used VirtualBox running Windows XP to install RA2 and then I just copied the installed files to a folder that's shared between my system and the virtual systems--anyway, so I tried running the installed files using the wine prefix I set up, but Ra2.exe dies flat out with a 256 exit code. 

I would really appreciate any advice that any of yall have to give; thanks in advance.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I got it to work, and I submitted my results to the Wine AppDB, so those should show up pretty soon for anyone who'd like to see what I did to get RA2 to work. 

Here's a link http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … on&iId=252
