***DO NOT REPLACE THE GAME.DAT FILE YET!***
3) Start the game and go to multiplayer -> online. The patch will download and should install without a problem.
4) Exit the game when it restarts.
5) Replace the game.dat file with the one from the executable archive.
6) Play the game. It should work flawlessly.
If you have problems here, you can get an alternate copy of of the Generals.exe and game.dat files from http://koti.mbnet.fi/coixi/generals (the site is in german if i remember, but the file names are clear as day), then follow the above instructions using those files instead of the ones from the executable archive. Those are what I used and it worked.
Be forewarned - you must have the v1.2 patch already installed in order for this to work!
Hope this helps...I'm working on getting the files and info uploaded to GameCopyWorld.
Happy gaming!

When exit the game after auto update, it will show a notepad about the updates and suddenly start the game. I cannot replace the game.dat file with the one from the executable archive because the game.dat was in use (cannot replace it).
Do I have to be very quick and replace the game.dat right after the auto update was done?
I tried so many different ways, still I got an invalid cdkey.
