I HAVE READ THE HOW-TO THREAD

I am playing through Origin. When i try to run the game it says Unable To Launch Zero Hour. This is right after i click my game icon  and it opens C&C Online, and try to click Zero Hour. What do i need to do?

 

Game: Zero Hour

Zero Hour Install Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\

ERROR: CreateProcess() failed to start C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\generals.exe. Error: The requested operation requires elevation.

Run the launcher as administrator.

check in your registry that the game installpath or install Dir is the same as where the generals.exe is.

 

with origin and window 7 i think it should be here: local machine - software - wow6432Node - EA Games

 

 

your install dir in your registry maybe:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\

 

instead of

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\

 

if so then you could change it in registy or copy the files back to the 1st \Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\ folder

This error isn't related to the registry. Xezon is right: run as administrator.

[madbob7]

very unlikely to be an issue with compatibility or admin rights but it wont do no harm to try.

Requires elevation meaning admin rights.

Or blocking antivirus software

I have the same problem and i run as administrator but still doesn't work ...

My game is install to D:\Jeux\Origin Game\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour

 

Do I have to reinstall my game here ? C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer Generals - Heure H\generals.exe

 

Sorry for my English, I am French, be indulgent

I suggest that you guys launch from GenTool instead of the launcher. Just install Gentool and then launch your game normally (i.e. from the desk top icon etc). You shouldn't get problems like that if you do it that way. Don't forget to unhook your game in the launcher first.

downloaded gentool, opened my zero hour from desktop and i still cant login using the normal desktop ZH icon, it says unable to connect..

Try again. The server may have been restarting or due for a restart.
