Assuming you have an .iso file with the game in your Downloads folder, the first step is to mount this iso file. So Windows will see it as you have a physical disc drive attached!
Double click on the .iso file:
Now you'll be brought to this window. Or navigate to the drive with the RR icon.
Now you have two options to install the game, you can either run the setup.exe and be able to choose your own language if the iso file contains multiple (like german and france). Or use the alternate installer.
(what's the difference?)
Visit: https://github.com/le717/Rock-Raiders-Alternate-Installer/releases/latest and download the .exe file, run it and accept that you want to run it as Admin from your downloads folder. Accept the agreement and install in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Media\Games\LEGO Rock Raiders" directory.
