C&C Zero Hour Not working on EA App

[AndrewT3hGreat]

@StarJekker Thank you man! Quick and easy solution. Excuse me while I go nerd out now

@StarJekker thx it work but now i have the problem with admin priviliges

@Wootoro Open the command prompt by typing "cmd" into the start menu, but instead of pressing enter when the item shows up, right-click it and select "Run as administrator".

@StarJekker Note that depending on the Windows version, it might be necessary to put quotes around the path, for the "cd" command to work on a path with spaces in it. (Also, technically this depends on where the user's games library is located, though I guess anyone who changed that should know that stuff.)

wonderful!! it really worked. but then the slap in the face.. "Your game could not be started" due to an error on our part, the start failed!.... does anyone have a solution for this? I am already despairing..

same here, ea app worst * ever.

i reinstalled origin and added the following line to C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml:

<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true" />

now you don't have to start it with ea app, because the ea app update won't show up. not the best solution but you can play the game.

I have the same problem and your solution works well. Thank you.

Help please. I follow steps to run but still can't launch C&C zero hour. It was stop working after using EA apps. My fav C&C zero hour gone.

This fixed the installation for me but when I try to launch, it starts the EA App which fails to elevate permissions. Game doesn't launch.

added the line but still after I log in to Origin it forces me to upgrade to EA App: "The EA app is your new home for PC gaming
Now's the time to upgrade. Install the EA app and log in with your EA Account to find all your games waiting for you."
