C&C Zero Hour install problems

TheOrangeRemix · 10-10-2006, 10:39 PM

Hi,

I have tried installing Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour from CD and before it installs, I keep getting this message:

"C & C Generals was not found. Please install the full version of C&C Generals and try again."

when in fact, I do have Generals installed. Does the installation program look for a specific default directory? What else can I do?

Have you moved the install folder of Generals? Do you have legal/legitimate copies of each game? Run through these First Steps, and let us know how you go.

The program did not ask me for the install folder of Generals. Also, the copy of Generals that I have was copied from a zip file.

Do you have the original CD/DVD of the game or is this a copy?

Generals is a copy, but Zero Hour is the original CD.

If Generals is a copy than that's your problem why you can't install and we can't help with it.

Zero Hour isn't complaining that you don't have Generals installed - it's complaining that you don't have a legal copy of Generals installed. You'll have to buy a legal copy of Generals.
