I have just purchased C&C generals zero hour and tried to install it, but it
wanted C&C Generals to be installed.  I purchased C&C Generals this ages ago
but had since uninstalled it (and now don't have the receipt or even
remember where I bought it so don't suggest I take it back).

So I tried to install C&C Generals again (it did work originally) but now it
gets halfway through the 2nd CD and complains that the USA06_final_00s.bik
file is unreadable.  Sure enough, if I try to extract it from data2.cab
winzip says the cab is corrupt.

Soooooo, not wanting to have to post the cd of to EA games for a replacement
(want to play NOW dammit!) is there somewhere (dodgy or not) I can download
data2.cab from?  or is there a way to 'fudge' the install to get zero
running (ie does it require the whole game to be installed or just some
files?)
