Hey guys, been installing this game last night and I don't have sleep yet as of this moment. (I'll sleep after I post this.)

So the problem is the I installed ROTR in the TFD version of zero hour with the 1.04 update, The ROTR version was 1.85 then updated it to 1.86 without opening the game.

What I have before installation:
Destructive Forces (only linked via shortcut like this:
CODE
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour\GeneralsZH.exe" -mod Destructive_ForcesV1.4.big


Installation I have done:
CODE
1) Unzip files of ROTR 1.85 & 1.86.
2) Run the installer for 1.85 and placed it inside the ""C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour" folder.
3) Install the SWR.net (Same folder as above) and the maps (On the data folder at the Documents).
4) Install 1.86 patch and updated all the others.
5) That's all

Please take note that I run this under the Administrator Privilages so I won't get any problems...

So I open it and it says I installed it in a frong (wrong) folder... I can't seem to find any reliable solutions after I tried all those I searched up.

The Destructive Force mod was only a single file and I can remove it any time by just moving it out of the folder. The Scripts Folder in Data Folder is now also revert to its original state before I insert the Destructive Forces so I'm so lost. Please help, I really wanted to play this mod. sad.gif

Have you tried opening Zero Hour on it's own? I know my copy of TDF won't launch Generals or Zero Hour for some reason.

Make sure your UAC is turned off, or install TFD outside the Program Files folder. Sometimes running as admin doesn't work, this happened to me once before.

I have follow it correctly and step by step either... I'm using TFD with 1.03 Rev 4 Patch and is cracked. I installed it again in C:\Games so that nothing would be blocked.. I made a copy incase of any emergency so I won't need to do a clean re-install...

So after installing the TFD with Patch 1.03 Rev 4 and opened it to test it off, I installed the ROTR 1.85 on the C:\Games\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour path then installed all the maps and SWR.NET. I then updated it immediately to 1.86 but to no avail.. it still says I installed it on the frong (wrong) folder.

Welp, I wanna play this mod so bad. sad.gif

I was looking for other solutions in youtube but it seems everyone with TFD has the same problem as mine.. other says that ROTR is not compatible with Win 10. :/
Is these claims true that ROTR is for Windows 7 below and have you gone checking if it really do work for TFD Patch 1.03 Rev 4?

did you change the path for rotr exactly to the first decade one?
by default rotr trys to install into the original stand alone zh path, u need to change it to the tfd zh path
c://programfiles/ea games/generals for default
c://programfiles/ea games/ the firstdecade /generals for tfd.

you have to compensate for the extra folder tfd creates.

Yes, I do. To be precise, I did a clean re-install of TFD C&C:ZH at the C:\Games then install the ROTR at the "C:\Games\Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour".

I'm using Windows 10 64-bit though. I install it with administrative privileges either.

Not yet though but if I did, it'll leave me needing the disk all the time just to open up the TFD.

By default, the Zero Hour in TFD comes patched to v1.04, which is the version you need for most mods.

I've never heard of this 1.03 patch you keep referring to, IIRC TFD doesn't require any additional patches.

Ok... so I have done another clean re-install of the TFD without any patches and it says I need to insert the CD-ROM but I don't have it. I'm using a crack that I bought in a mall stand near our school. Also, the patch I kept talking about was that of the unofficial patch made by the CNCNZ Community. Unofficial TFD 1.03 Rev 4 Patch

I can see the splash image run now so it may have been that but I found an article about installing ROTR and there's a link for TFD Patch and that link brings you to that Unofficial Patch... Need help now on how to run this without that CD-ROM... please. sad.gif Perhaps it's the 1.02 Patch?
