Hello everybody. I have read the how-to thread, and have both Generals and Zero Hour patched to 1.8 and 1.04 respectively, installed via First Decade, and hooked into the C&C Online launcher, but whenever I try to launch the games through the launcher or via the hooked shortcut, it gives me the error message "Unable to launch Generals" or Zero Hour.
I'm on Windows 8.1, and have gotten Kane's Wrath, Red Alert 3, and Tiberium Wars all to work with the launcher; Generals/Zero Hour do launch correctly normally, but not with the launcher.
----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Zero Hour
Zero Hour Install Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour\
Discovered Zero Hour TFD version
ERROR: CreateProcess() failed to start C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour\generals.exe. Error: The requested operation requires elevation.
ERROR: Unable to launch Zero Hour
----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Generals
Generals Install Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals\
ERROR: CreateProcess() failed to start C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals\generals.exe. Error: The requested operation requires elevation.
ERROR: Unable to launch Generals

Man, I feel stupid. Hehe, thankee Sai.
The only thing still not working is vanilla Generals online. The launchers and shortcuts work now, along with Zero Hour's online.
Generals says "Can not connect to Generals Online" still.

Actually, it's better to use GenTool than the launcher for Generals and Zero Hour now. The new GenTool versions all have C&C:Online support built-in.

Is that the only way to do it now?
