Cnc Generals Install Problem

[Spock]

i just got generals tonight and i went to install it and this message came up(see pic)
and cant get generals to install.
ive tried to install it on both of my cd drives and it wont install.
so can any of you help me?

I'm guessing your installing from a CD (E:\). There is no language.cab file on the CD. The installation will not work if you don't have this file. So, to put it simply - your screwed.

 

[Spock]

no the file is there, the intaller just wont reconize it

 

[Shannon]

Something is wrong then, I don't know what.

Hey i got it installed!
i just copyied both cd contents to a folder and ran the installer from there, now it works

 

[Shannon]

Is CnC Generals out now?

 

[Spock]

Where i live it is, so yeah

 

[Shannon]

It probably won't be out in Australia for a while. Damn.

I had a problem with that same file, I had to use CDMAGE to save it cuz it was corrupted... But I downloaded the latest patches from the official C&C Generals forums and it worked fine, also got rid of some Serious Error problems the game had. If you havent updated to the newest patch, I highly recommend it.

I havent had any problems with this game running on my comp. What are you guys running on your comps?

hehe well you might have read this already but want to go ahead and post it just in case someone else encounters this problem. I was a bit late but glad to hear everything is running good for you. C&C Generals help

no i didn't read that, i kinda figured it out on my own.
but why dose this problem happen? i think EA should fix this problem because copying both cds to a hdd is a bit much for some cd drives
