[Zero Hour] "Installation not found" error


Best Answer acrevv23, 17 July 2014 - 06:14 AM

It's beyond me why this isn't sticky'd:

 

I can confirm that reinstalling both games via Origin, installing the fixed launchers and then installing GenTool solved my problem. Both games launch fine via the launcher now  :)

 

So I suggest installation of the following in this particular order:

 

1) Install the C&C Online launcher

2) Install both Generals & Zero Hour via Origin (or via retail disc, remember to patch both games)

3) Install the fixed launchers (applicable only if you have the Ultimate Collection via Origin)

4) Install GenTool (can be installed if you have Origin versions / retail versions)

5) Run the C&C Online launcher, click on the "Hook" menu and select Generals & ZH

6) Launch Generals/Zero Hour via Origin / desktop shortcut 

7) Enabling the hook option in step 5 should now trigger the C&C Online launcher to open

8) Pick the game you want to play

9) Play!

I have read the How too thread. I have read the common issues thread.

I'm using the origin version of Generals/Zero Hour. I have even tried everything stated in this post:
http://forums.revora...tion-not-found/

However, even after trying that I get the same error. The error is, "Zero Hour installation not found." I have also ran both Origin and C&C-Online as administrator. I have also tried compatability mode with no change.

I had the same error and did everything in the steps I just posted, and now the game works as it is intended to. One more thing, you have to run the game as administrator (right click on the shortcut and click run as administrator).

Nope. lol

 

Idk, it worked for me. Did you uninstall everything first, then follow the steps in order? Did you hook Generals?

Don't give up. Uninstall everything (Generals, C&C online, GT). Follow the steps I posted exactly (don't forget the fixed launchers and patch the game in origins (right click on generals and hit check for updates). Restart your computer. Hook Generals. Run as administrator. It should work then.

And should you experience log-in problems, note that we are currently experiencing server issues.

How do I download the fixed launchers?  I clicked the link and it started downloading file only to then ask me which program to use to open it???

 

And I don't have the option to run as administrator when I right click.
