There's nothing different for TFD. Just drop the stuff in /Zero Hour.

64bit OS
C:/Program Files (x86)/EA Games/Command & Conquer The First Decade/Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour 32bit OS C:/Program Files/EA Games/Command & Conquer The First Decade/Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour all you do is when you install when the directory destination pops up click browse and go to either one of those locations whichevr os u have and thats all you really have to do |

Make sure to change your target directory to include the if you installed in the default directory.

Ok, I assumed a friend of mine had TFD because they are having problems getting SW to launch. She did a fresh install because she had pretty much stopped playing ZH all together. She is able to play VZH just fine, but not SW. Here is the post she made.
QUOTE I finally installed CNC Zero Hour and downloaded the patches for Shockwave but having a hard time of actually getting Shockwave to load. I first patched Zero Hour to Version 1.04. Then I patched Shockwave 0.95 then Shockwave 0.951 Then nadda .. zlich.. It was a clean install any ideas? That's when I assumed she was using TFD. Once I asked her that, she replied with this. QUOTE It is the original version. I was thinking of picking up decade but not really interested since I enjoy Shockwave so much more. I can get the launcher box to show but when I click on "Launch" the game doesn't load. Now I'm wondering should I save Shockwave in the Zero Hour directory or should I just have a separate directory for it? What should I tell her to do??? -------------------- Commands

I did have this on time and could only start with the bat files.
Can she start Shockwave_Alt_NS.bat out of the ZH map? -------------------- |

On the launcher, press quit once, that means shut it down properly the way it's meant to be (played, wait.... ), then try again.
The quit button restores all .gib files that are needed for the Launch button to launch the game. However, if this doesn't work, check the folder yourself. I'm not going to list all the specific files you need, but the primary files are the ones listed on the picture I post of my own folder. These are in a default .gib filetype so that when you launch the normal Zero Hour they won't interfere. What the launcher does is rename them into .gib and launch Zero Hour, thus with the Shockwave content enabled. Messing up the filetypes in the folder somehow messes up the launch sequence and makes it fail.
