Command and Conquer Red Alert won't install

Hey Guys,
I was visiting family over the weekend and my uncle said I could take some stuff out of a pile of junk in his basement. I found a set of Command and Conquer Red Alert discs(Allied and Soviet discs, no manual no nothing they were just in plain paper sleeves). Since I got my new rig I wanted to "test" the waters of PC gaming so I figured"ah what the heck lets try it". I put the Allied CD in and it popped up and I chose the "Install Red Alert" button. Then a window popped up that said something like: Windows 6.1 installed. This is a Windows 98\95 product. All it gave me was the red X, so I clicked it and the whole Window closed. Is there a way that I can run it?
Thanks,
Spock96

 

Hello,

Command & Conquer Windows 95 Edition on XP

 

I'm running win 7 pro

 

Should not make any difference.
This goes into better detail on running and installing.
