Some systems don't seem to like that installer, so you can try this: http://www.microsoft...ls.aspx?id=8109
once I dl it, where do I extract the files?

Wherever you want. Then run Setup.exe (or DXSetup.exe).

It isn't. I tried to run Zero Hour on my brother's laptop which is running Win8.1. I did everything by the book, but it failed to run. Then I installed DX9, it runs as it should.
The same happened when I did a 100% fresh install of Win7 on my own laptop (it came without an OS). TW didn't want to run until I installed DX9 manually.

How do I launch Gentool then? I updated CNC-Online and then I downloaded Gentool. How do I launch the game then?

If you have GenTool installed, just run Generals/Zero Hour through their normal shortcuts. Don't use the C&C:Online launcher for those two titles. And don't hijack other people's threads.

It is. If you open system32/syswow64 dir on fresh windows install you will see d3d8.dll. In doubt double check dxdiag.exe. It may be possible that the game wants to be run in comp mode. It may be possible the game looks for another rev of dx 9 and the game does not ship with it.

just for lols I had the game working, then everyone told me get GT get GT get gentool you're a hacker. So I downloaded it... now it won't work.
I think if you don't have gentool then its fine without getting the direct x bullshit. The game was temperamental to open. Sometimes it'd just think about running then time out. Then you run generals and it'd work then you exit and then try zh and it'll work once, but then not the second time.
But now I've got gentool installed to stop being such a hacker... and then game won't launch.
Good times.
Good luck solving it. I can't.
Posted 31 December 2014 - 03:30 AM
I dl that direct x and installed it. Didn't solve.
ZH loading screen pops up, then an error saying the game is corrupt and won't launch follwed by the "install direct x9" message.
Fucking yay.

xezon... I can get the game working without gentool, As soon I download it and then try play zero hour, it won't launch. Can you help? First error says the file is corrupt, the second says that direct x isn't up to date.
What is gentool doing to the directory to change the settings when the game is launched?

Bitdefender is an awful program. You're better off leaving it uninstalled and getting something decent.
No fuel left for the pilgrims
Posted 04 January 2015 - 12:25 AM
...when you say "remove software that messes with debugging" can you toggle those programs on and off or do literally need to uninstall them.. cos bitdefender is a solid program
BitDefender is so solid that it blocks GenTool for no solid reason.
