Unable to install Red Alert from The First Decade DVD

[kelvSYC]

Issue Summary

I encountered an issue when trying to install the Red Alert using The First Decade DVD.

Though most of the assets I obtained were from the Remastered Collection, The First Decade was needed for the original Soviet cutscenes. Because of this, I pulled out my copy of The First Decade DVD. Though OpenRA was able to detect the DVD, it was unable to install the cutscenes.

Inspecting the install.log file suggests that I was missing a file at ~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/Content/ra/v2/main.mix.

This persists even if I removed all of the Red Alert assets obtained from the Remastered Collection and attempted to obtain all assets from The First Decade.

Reproduction

From the Red Alert OpenRA app, launch, then follow instructions while The First Decade DVD was in an external drive.

Expected behavior

Expecting the installation of assets to proceed normally.

Workaround

The installation was able to proceed by copying a main.mix from an existing Red Alert installation, and copying it to the indicated path. It does not appear that main.mix is otherwise needed, but my install has retained it just in case.
