Then install and copy this ddraw file found here. Go to game properties and disable the Origin UI in game and also add '-win' in the command window above so the game will start in windowed mode.
Head to the origin game page and find RA2. So it seems a combo of the different sulutions given here and there did seem to work with a few tweaks.
I run the game on a Win 10 Pro 64bit system. So I've been going back and forth about this for days now trying to get it to work.
