C&C Generals No-CD v.1.7

[DeusAbsconditus]

Hello together,
I just told me a thumb, cause i have really not much idea about handling with "patches" especially the the "No-CD" patches.

I have a original C&C Game shared
-.- just jokeing. My Generals CD ist damaged, and doesn't play but it install its files normaly. So i though to get a No-CD patch, and i got it. But there was no Orders with to know how to use it.

I just put this downloaded file into the Generals directory with those other datas, there was a game.dat and executor.nfo with the generäle.exe data.

I i click to this probably new game starter it contents, that the launcher config file is missing, and i should start the game from its install directory, but there is no install directory, i made one and put this file in it, but it showed me the same message.
Can u guys please post me a link to faq, which describes in pieces what to do? or might u tell me? In this faq here i found nothin.

Thank u in advance, greetings from germany, george.
