OpenRA crashing on Load

So I downloaded OpenRA and it worked fine, installed Red Alert from my disc at the pop up. However, when I switched to Tiberian Dawn and tried installing it didn't install from my disk.

No problem, I'll just play some Red Alert instead, the problem is I clicked quit instead of change mod on the Tiberian Dawn install screen. Now when I try to start OpenRA it tries to load Tiberian Dawn, fails, and crashes.

Is there a way to force OpenRA to start on Red Alert? I've tried unistalling/reinstalling, restarting my computer, and even redownloading the installer and installing it fresh but it keeps defaulting to Tiberian Dawn and crashing.

I'm running on Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Try deleting the cnc content files from My Documents/OpenRA/Content. This is a bug which will be fixed in the next release.
