How do You Run ROTR W/O Installer? Options

[Palaiogos]

I have been trying to run ROTR using the installer, and it doesn't work. There is no splash screen, I just press launch, and nothing happens. What is interesting is that I have one unmodded copy of Zero Hour, and I copy the folder every time I want to install a new mod. I have installed 1.85, then 1.86. then the 1.87 beta patch, but nothing is happening. If I run generals.exe on another mod, it works, which means that my unmodded copy should work. Is there any way to play ROTR without the launcher? Thanks.
