So I'm having a regular copy of RA3, I'm using windows 7 32bit and when I patched the game for online and tried to launch the game again I got the "CA public key patching routine failed" message, I ignored it, tried to login, and the game wouldn't let me cuz it said I had to patch the game and the "patch available" message popped up even though I already did it.Now I tried "hooking" the game and I tried setting the launcher to Windows XP compatibility mode, I tried it and when I tried to launch the game it wouldn't launch and I got the error message "Unable to launch Red Alert 3".I tried setting both the RA3 and C&C Online launchers to XP compatibility mode and it launched the game but I got the same "CA public key patching routine failed" message.
C&C RA3 Launcher/Login Issue

I did try using windows 7 compatibility I did run the game as administrator, yes by regular copy I mean a disk version I did patch the game to 1.12 through the in-game online patcher and still I get "CA public key patching routine failed" and when I launch the game the online patch pops up again and again and again and again.

Says I'm running version 1.09 so clearly the patch completely fails to install right? If you have an installer of the update 1.12 maybe I could try to do it from there, or maybe if theres a way to manually patch the game.

If you launch RA3 without the launcher and as administrator, you should trigger the patch download. If not, something's rather broken and you should reinstall.

Open regedit.exe, navigate to HKLM\SysWOW64\Software\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\version (or similar) and tell us what the value is.

Hold on I went to Software instead of system and it goes like this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Electronic Arts/Electronic Arts/ and then there's no "version" but 1 "Red Alert 3" folder and 1 "Red Alert 3" Sub-folder there's no "version" file in any of them but in the "Red Alert 3" sub-folder there's another folder named "1.0" if thats what you meant

I don't have access to my Windows computer at the moment, so I can't look it up. Have you tried reinstalling RA3 already?
