Red Alert 3 install location issue

Hi,

 

I'm using the normal version of Red Alert 3, updated to the latest patch, on Windows 7. When I open C&C:Online and click Red Alert 3, I encounter an error message reading "Red Alert 3 installation not found." I am not using Origin. I was wondering how to direct C&C:Online to my Red Alert 3 directory? I suspect the issue may be that it is looking in the default location, the C drive, whilst my hard drive is split into two partitions and all my games are installed on the D drive. There is not enough room to install all my C&C games on the C drive, so doing so is not a solution. 

 

I also noticed that there wasn't an immediately obvious way to customise the installation directory of C&C:Online. It installed, by default, in the C drive. Perhaps if I could install it in the D drive (same drive as RA3), it would look there by default and find the game? This is pure speculation, of course.

 

 

Here are the contents of the error log file:

 
----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Red Alert 3
ERROR: Red Alert 3 installation not found.
 
 
Thanks,

I played Red Alert 3 using that profile.
