Hi

Does anyone know this message ? It appears just after pressing the first
next during install.

"C&C generals was not found. Please install the full version of C&C
generals, And try again."

I'm trying to install on a windows 2000. And the cd is in.

/Peter

 Peter,

 Is it Generals Zero Hour you are trying to install ?  If it is, you need
Generals (the first game) installed to play it, Zero Hour is an expansion
pack.  If it's not, sorry can't help.

You need to get the registry entry for generals.  i.e. when you install the
original it has an entry "installpath".  you need to make this path the
directory where you have the original files.  as far as i can tell it uses
the installpath and then checks for files because I've tried using an empty
directory and it gives me errors.
