    Hi everyone,

     

    Sorry for the necrobump.

     

    I've been trying the wonderful suggestions in this thread in all sorts of combinations to get C&C Generals and ZH working, and I fear I may have screwed things up even worse. Background: Running Windows 7, 64 bit, legitimate physical copy of C&C: The First Decade. Tried compatibility, fresh install, disable visual themes, disable UAC, run as admin, .ini file, official patch, etc.

     

    Right now when I try to run either one, I get the error about inserting the correct DVD-ROM.

     

    I tried to install this patch: http://www.cncnz.com/hosted-projects/command-patch/the-first-decade-unofficial-patch/

    But it quickly stops, saying it has not been totally installed because "Command & Conquer Red Alert\Manual.pdf: This file contains invalid data (error 21FC)." I looked in that directory and that file wasn't even there, so I downloaded what I assume is the referenced Red Alert manual, renamed it, and put it in the folder. I still get the exact same error.

     

    Now when I try to uninstall any of the C&C games, there's an error that wasn't happening a few hours ago:

    Error Code: -5006 : 0x800700b7
    Error Information:
    >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1194)
    PAPP:Command & Conquer The First Decade
    PVENDOR:Electronic Arts (http://www.EAGames.com/)
    PGUID:66D6F3BD-CA23-41A4-9FA3-96B26B32528C
    $11.0.0.28844
    @Windows XP Service Pack 1 (7601) BT_OTHER 0.0

     

    Please help! I am at my wit's end, and medical school restarts in 6 days when I won't have time :(

     

    Thank you so much.
