I did a clean Zero-Hour install (following the guide Zeke provided) and installed the 1.85 RotR version on ModDB. Version 1.85 worked.
I then installed the 1.86 patch from ModDB and the game crashed with that "the game encountered a serious error" message. I checked the crash files but the crash of the 1.86 version does not write to the crash dump files. This means I don't have any way of knowing why the crash happens. I ran the game in Administrator mode and also looked at the compatibility settings. The game still crashed when I run it as an administrator. There are no compatability settings on the RotR 1.86 launcher. The Zero-Hour launcher has compatability settings for XP (Service Pack 3) but removing the compatability settings does not stop the crash. I'd appreciate a way to just update straight to the 1.87 beta from 1.85 but I'm guessing the devs don't want to put time into doing a 1.87 installer while version 1.87 is still changing. |

Is your zero hour installed inside Program Files? If so, you can try either re-installing the game outside of program files, or disabling your UAC as it sometimes blocks installers from installing certain files into the Program Files folder.

Installing outside the "Program Files" folder made no difference. If it is the UAC, there's no way I can turn it off (not my laptop, I'm borrowing it and using a non-admin account given to me).
I noticed that when I installed 1.85 the installer mentioned there being "write protected" files and asking if I wanted to overwrite them (I said yes). Perhaps that is a UAC problem, in which case I am stuck. All I know is 1.85 runs fine even though there were "write protected" files so I assumed the files were overwritten.
