So, I have Red Alert 3 on Origin AND Steam. currently, only the Origin version with the ultimate collection is installed. I got Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath working just fine once I selected the "hook" method on the launcher. Red Alert 3 however is not launching through the CnC online launcher. Tried hooking it, no change. Disabled Origin overaly, No change. The Error message is simply "Red Alert 3 installation not found." Red Alert 3 was the first game I bought on steam, and I bought the Ultimate Collection when I found it on the Origin launcher. 

Any other ideas to get this error fixed?

As you have the ultimate collection i would install the fix and try again https://www.moddb.co...launchers-v101 

also make sure that youre following the hooking procedure:


1. If you have cnc online open, close it before doing anything else.

2. Not necessary, but in some cases it helps, disable your antivirus.

3. Open steam/origin, and create a shortcut for your game.

4. Open CNC Online and hook your game, then close the launcher.

5. Now double click the shortcut you created, it should take you to the cnc online launcher, and go from there.

I actually got it to work by going to origin and clicking "repair" and now Red Alert 3 multiplayer is working with the launcher.
