Problem installing C&C: Generals - Zero Hour

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

Hi Gimble,

Try copying the contents of the CDs to your hard drive and
then run the installation. It should overcome that 1305 error.

| Well, when I try to install Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour, about half
| way through the installation, a message pops up saying
| "Error 1305.Error reading from file ....\EA Games\Command & Conquer Generals
| Zero Hour\MusicZH.big. Verify that the file exists and that you can access
| it."

| uninstalled it properly), should I take my computer back a week and try
| again? Any advice is much appreciated.
