Error Installing C&C Generals

[Ptica10 0]

Hi guys,

I'm new here, decided to register to get some help from professionals

So the problem is simple (haha), at the installation this damn pop up shows up.

 

 

I tried everything I know, moved the whole installation folder to hard drive, cleaned up registry, Run as administrator, Compatibility mode etc...
So please if you have any ideas on how to fix this, I would be grateful.

Wiling to try every option in order to play this awesome game.

Tnx in advance

Have you had the game installed on that computer before? I'd say that there are some residual files left.

The best part is I didn't, this is the brand new PC, and the first installation, I'm going nuts..
You're from Split, nice to have someone from the same country, btw I'm from Varaždin

Well, it is highly unusual that the installer wishes to run a file it is supposed to install... Damaged disc, maybe?

Figured you were from around here somewhere by your username

The disc seems fine, in fact all 4 of them (including Zero Hour). And on the last PC I installed without any problems.. doubt that the CD got damaged somewhere in between because it was in the box all the time.

I figured the problem might be with the CD, so I downloaded the game from the Internet, but the same error...so it must be something with my PC :/

Delete that folder under TEMP and try again. Maybe CCleaner your machine as well.

I did delete the folder, CC-ed the machine, checked for viruses. But it keeps creating the folder when I click "Next" in the installation setup...and tried this several times.

How about if you actually place it there?

Use Run as Admin stuff on it for good measure.

Will try thanks, I looked up a few videos on Youtube on what actually should happen when you click "Next" on the installation window, It should open a new window where you enter the serial for the game. So I'm guessing something with opening that window is the problem.
