I'm assuming you simply... put the files in the rar in the RA2 folder and run through NEXT GEN.exe, but there's definitely a lack of an installation guide that confirms this.

Sorta hoping someone takes this work and makes it work through the CNCNet Client... it'd be good to have a way to get its benefits (like being able to select a windowed view) with what's simply a bugfixed YR with the full campaigns.

Just drag and drop all files to your yr folder with cncnet installed, then configure the client to run Ares. Look it up for how to do that.
