Make the game detect the raw files aswell.

Installing RA2 from the original installation disk is impossible now, I ran the game from the raw files since I use Windows 7. However, OpenRA is looking for the full installation, without success. Thus, I'd like to be able to just load the raw game files, which are in full integrity and working.

Hm, I suppose we can mention where a user can put the files in the wiki. Place language.mix, ra2.mix and theme.mix inside the ra2 content folder in OpenRA's support folder: OpenRA\Content\ra2. The support folder is in your My Documents (and in AppData if it's not in docs).

I did so, but it should be automatic to reduce issues for less experienced people.

I don't know what the raw game files are, but you can make your own installer by configuring https://github.com/OpenRA/ra2/tree/master/mods/ra2/installer

where exactly do i have to put these files? i tried: ~/.openra/Content/ra2/ ~/.OpenRA/Content/ra2/ ~/Support/.openra/Content/ra2/ and i tried to put the Support folder with the content in the same directory as i installed openra2 but the game won't recognize any file...

on manjaro/unix installed with make, the normal way...

See https://github.com/OpenRA/ra2/wiki#installing-the-content-manually

fetch-content.sh may also helpful as it automatizes everything.

now the wiki shows the right directory... thanks

Yeah, sorry I just realized. For backwards compatibility the old directory still works as long as the new one doesn't exist which makes it even more confusing.
