I remember trying to do this before, but couldn't get Red Alert's 16-bit installer to work in Windows 7 64-bit

I have the Red Alert ISOs from the last time. Mmm, Kari Wuhrer...

Looks like they have repackaged them as just extractable rars containing all the installed directorys and files, although you have to put them in C:/Program Files
Although doing that and then setting win98 compatibility mode worked first time on win7 64bit here

Just downloaded Red Alert - it's definately an ISO file with the original 16-bit installer, though Tiberian Sun maybe different.

However, EA themselves link to a rather nice app called Red Alert Setup Manager, which installs the game fine! Just load the ISO image on a virtual drive (or burn to a CD) and run the app.
