If you mean, having both mods installed at the same time.
I would encourage making multiple Zero Hour folders (in program files) for this. Generals Classic changes a lot of files, and it's always safer to have a different folder for every mod. -------------------- |

if you have TFD (the final decade) i found it better to make a ZH folder copy on your desktop plainly copying it in the program files folder tends to fuxx up.

Not everyone has an enormous hard drive lol -------------------- |

it's only 1.25 gig to be precise.
and it saves you from a boatload of trouble when playing multiple mods. a clean reinstall takes longer than a quick copy -------------------- P |

If you don't do it, your folder gets saturated with mod files that don't have anything to do with eachother and will inevitably conflict. This is especially true with Generals Classic as that one changes a lot of files, and it may not work in conjunction with Shockwave or ROTR. At least it did not here.

I once had 18 Copies of Zero Hour on my hard drive^^.
The best solution is probably this: I normally keep one clean ZH Folder, One for all the Launcher-Mods like ShW, RotR and one for each crappy mod without a launcher. This post has been edited by Stalker: 17 Jul 2009, 10:02 |

You can just use Codecat's launcher which can be found here :
http://forum.falloutstudios.net/index.php?showtopic=7772 I have around 25 folders in my ZH directory, each one containing a different mod, and none of them interfere |

I install mods manually for most of the time.
I extract mod files to a folder and make a file list. If it has a launcher, then I'll simply put into ZH folder. If not, I'll simply copy and paste them every time I want to play. This way I can retain my HD space and keep a clean ZH operational at the same time. However, it might not be very convenient to some of you because you have to learn what files are used by original ZH. -------------------- CASOJIN

its better to make multiple foldors period no Wait neccesary to switch from mod to Mod no interfering and your insured it will Work if you really have a HD less then at least 200 GB i think thatch a bit strange
