I'd just like to bring this up as an issue with the current launcher, I run Multiple partitions on my hard drive, (Example: I have C, D, E, and H drives...), Your installer does not look in more than one drive for the Zero Hour Directory, Could you please fix this, or add an option to specify what drive to look for ZH in??

Note: I downloaded the fixed launcher....

My launcher does not care about partitions. It looks into system registry and takes install path from there. If you moved ZH from one drive to another then install path does not match real ZH location. And this is your problem.

I run multiple operating systems, Also to prevent data loss all my games are on a separate drive from my windows drive, XP is on D. drive, while my games are on H. drive, also I have XP64bit on E drive, I use XP32bit most, it's the operating system that is having problems....

Why? It sounds much of an innecesary thing. I have everything on one partition, and i never had problems. Multuiple OS I can understand, but 3 (EFG) OSes is to much.

Wow! You are not guilty then! Great!

Well, I have a Win 98 partition for playing old games like Klingon Academy,I've been thinking of getting rid of the XP64bit OS, But I've had problems with viruses crashing my windows partition, So I keep all my important data on a separate drive for when we have to reformat a windows drive due to viruses, All I'm asking is for the Option to tell it where to look for ZH, I don't think that's too much to ask...

(In contra's case the registry is on D. drive while the actual game data is on H. Drive, Also for some reason it keeps looking in E. drive which is the 64bit, I'm playing it on the 32bit in D. Drive...)

Oh why would you have that old windows? Compatibility mode is da bomb

[Railgunner2160]

Compatibility mode doesn't work for all games, In fact with klingon academy it fucks it up to the point that you can't play it...

RF1 plays nice with it. Renegade to.

[SpardaSon21]

Yes, but he doesn't want to play RF1 and C&C: Renegade; he wants to play Klingon Academy.

Railgunner, solution is simple. Open registry editor and go to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Electronic Arts/EA Games/

Browse all folders there and find all parameters with paths. They can be named "InstallPath", "gr_folder", "zh_folder" and so on. Fix all paths there. They must point to real Zero Hour location. This is all.

PS: And try do not to move programs to another drives after installation.
