Hi. When i try to launch contralaucher.exe, it gives me this error.
What should i do?
The ZH folder should be named exactly like this:
"Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour"
Try a "&" instead of "and"

Okay, just take all the files in the contra folder (click+shift+down/up arrow), and extract (or copy and paste) to your zero hour folder. It worked for me, I thought it was only for those with first decade (or vista...)

By the way, can you tell be the install path for your Zero Hour and which registry key on your computer contains this install path?Hi. When i try to launch contralaucher.exe, it gives me this error.
What should i do?
Eddy have answered correctly. Moving Contra files to Zero Hour folder will solve the problem. But I need to know why the error happened to fix it in next release.

No. I need to know registry setings. Please run registry editor and find the key which contains the string "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour". I need to know the path to that registry key.On my comp, it's...

I solved this problem by using Crosus.
No need to edit registry, easy to launch and can still play other Mods or Original game.
(Assumes Crosus (http://www.isotx.com/) is installed an running properly, and using TFD in default location)
1. Navigate to
\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour\MTVMods
If you dont have any mods installed already you may need to create the MTVMods folder
2. Create a folder called Contra6
3.Copy all the files from "Contra 006 packed with ZIP"
into the Contra6 folder. (The data folder, .big files, Ariag.ttf, can copy others but not needed)
4.
Rename the .big files to end in .mod eg "!Contra006.big.mod"
5. Exit crocus (right click icon) and start Crosus again.
6. The Mods tab should now contain a working Contra6 link.
PS: this would be easy if you actualy hosted the mod on Crosus

You should not have that problem if you follow the instructions in my previous post as it does not use the Contra launtcher, it loads it through CrosuS.
I know it takes a while to set up, but once I got it working i found it works well.

Found the problem, if your using first decade EA decided to make the install path reg key the first decade folder instead of the specific zero hour folder, I changed the install path to the zero hour folder and everything worked fine.
E.g. my reg key was
D:\CnC\First Decade
i changed it to
D:\CnC\First Decade\Command and Conquer™ Zero Hour
E.g. my reg key was
D:\CnC\First Decade
i changed it to
D:\CnC\First Decade\Command and Conquer™ Zero Hour

Hi folks,
I had the same problems, but i found a solution:
Just try to edit you registration with these strings:
Command & Conquer Generäle/Generals - Stunde Null/Zero Hour
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour] "Language"="german"
not necessary "UserDataLeafName"="Command & Conquer Generäle Stunde Null Data"
"Version"=dword:00010004 (dword string in the reg)
not necessary "MapPackVersion"=dword:00010000
"InstallPath"="J:\\Games\\Command & Conquer Generäle Stunde Null\\" (thats the installation folder)
not necessary "Proxy"="
" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\ergc] @="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Language ... Sprache (german/english/usw.)
UserDataLeafName ... der rot markierte Teil muss bei der englischen Version durch "Generals Zero Hour" ersetzt werden
InstallPath ... Installationspfad des Spiels (auf die doppelten \\ achten)
ergc ... CD-Key (ohne die "-")
hope to help you it worked fine for me.
I found that trick on the net and some adaptation of my own

If that is Contra 007 launcher - it is no longer maintained and I don't have the source code to check and see the conditions under which this message is displayed. I recommend you to obtain the latest Contra version: https://github.com/C...ons.md#ENGLISH-
