It's just Spanish, and it's a general error that Final Alert can't find a file it needs. By needing it standalone, are you wanting it to not need an install to the registry or just not require RA2's files installed?

Both would be good idea.

@HG_SCIPCION:
chk the FinalAlert.ini/FinalSun.ini and delete these sections:
[FinalSun]
[TS]

He most likely modified FinalAlert's exe already to make it search a wrong registry entry, this way forcing it to use local settings. (*)
Thus he wants to know the exe hack to get rid of that annoying window.
A FinalSun hack was written exactly for this, but i have no clue if a FinalAlert one was done as well.

(*)
If you want FinalAlert to ignore the stupid registry, simply open the exe in a hex editor and replace all strings

Code:

Software\Westwood

with some garbage like

Code:

fuckthis\registry

to this way force it load the settings from the ini.
