Generals Cd-Fix

[inzomnia]

hey all, I'm trying to get rid of the annoying CD check in C&C Generals (non Zero-Hour) so that my roommate can join me in some LAN games, but I don't entirely know how this thing is supposed to work.

It says to replace the game executable with the one provided in the rar, but no such executable is present. The only thing in the rar is a byte for byte carbon copy of the game.dat file, and I've tried copying this one to my generals folder with no luck as it still asks for that CD.

What am I supposed to do to get the no-Cd crack to work correctly?
