I am running windows XP Professional and when ever I try to install Renegade I get the auto run and when I click Install it comes up with a white window with Renegade Setup in the title bar and then a get an error message that looks like this "Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.

As I told earlier I had the same problem, but thanks to the help of Dead6re I've succesfully installed it.
First delete everything you have on Renegade including the registery, you may want to keep your saved game.
Then reboot and explore the install disk and search for Vbrun60 in the map Setup.
Klick it.
Run the setup (not the autorun.)
This worked for me so good luck!!!!!!!

The way to fix this, is by not slipstreaming SP2 and just installing Ren before this. Ho[e this helps

I haven't checked about Service Pack 2, I'm currently awaiting my version to arrive since the installer doesn't work for me. It can't fetch my product id, but after it has finished, maybe this weekend coming I will be checking and try to find out any way to install and run Rengeade on SP2 if the vb runtime files do not work.
Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

My ren has never had a problem with SP2, I had Ren installed, then installed SP2 (abut 2 months after it was released), no problems.
After a regular format, I installed SP2, then renegade, still no problems.
I'll probably slipstream at some stage, but not right now.

I had similar problems with EBFD and RA2. Fortunantly, I had EBFD installed and a No-CD patch fixed it for me, and I just got really lucky one day and RA2 decided to install. I'm running SP1, so I know SP2 isn't the problem.
