From the Official EA site:
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE DOWNLOAD:
We are providing the ISO image of C&C for both the GDI and Nod discs. In order for the original C&C to run on Windows XP, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a CD with a CD Burner and any "CD Burning Software" such as Nero, Alcohol, etc. There are also a few extra steps in order to make the original C&C run on Windows XP after you burn it to CD. Please click the link below for the exact instructions after you download both files!

Has anyone gotten it to install yet? I'm not having much luck here. It seems the installer can't sense the "CD" in the drive, either because of wine or in spite of it. I'll try it out some more later, I guess.

I'm downloading both right now.

If you're mounting the ISO, chmod the loop device the ISO is mounted on to 777.

That doesn't seem to work. I'm told it's a read-only filesystem, even if I add -o rw to the mount command. Strange. I've found other sites elsewhere that suggest it should install almost automatically. I wonder if I got a corrupted download. ... :-k

You might also have to add the ISO mount point to Wine drives, if you haven't already. The best bet is to burn, if you wish to spare the trouble.
EDIT: Outlining my steps:
1. sudo chmod 777 /dev/loop0
2. Check winecfg drives, add ISO mount point (I also added /dev/loop0 just in case).
3. mount the ISO on the mount point
4. launch seutp

That did the trick; thanks. I wondered why I was having such trouble with a game from 12 years ago. ... :|
Re: Free C&C 12th ANNIVERSARY! DOWNLOAD ORIGINAL C&C FREE
The reason why the installer fails is that the installer tries to directly access the loopback device. With 0660 root/disk, that won't work out very well.

In 1997, a band of developers that would come to be known as Rockstar North and Rockstar Games released the original Grand Theft Auto on an unsuspecting public.
