Old Windows Games Compatabilty Issues

I cant install the game Red Alert Command And Conquer because it was meant to be run on Windows 95. I saw the tutorial on how to run programs in compatabilty mode (Compatibility Mode) , but i cant seem to find any of the right click options in step on. The disk is in the drive and there is no shortcut so i cant right click on any options to get to the compatabilty mode. Help??

Hello Technic,
You need to "explore" the CD and find the install exe, right click on that and you should find the options you need.
Hope this helps, post your results.
