I had tried everything under the sun for 3 days to try and make previous ZH downloads work- registry fixes, new cracks, patches, folder name changes and re-installs. Quiet frankly, they stank ad kept on crashing at start-up - a common situation i can see many people faced with ZH having been through dozens of old forums. There seem to be some bad ZH ISOS out there with very poor instructions and missing patches/registry fixes.
My advice, if u have a ZH copy which is giving u allot of trouble then give up on it and try another.
This tmjam2002 install from PirateBay however worked for me quiet easily on windows XP service pack 3. I suppose there is no reason why it should not work for Vista/Windows 7 with compatibility mode to XP.

The torrent seems to be alive from when i last checked. Not many working links to ZH on filesharing sites nowadays so u will just have to stick with this torrent.
Simple instructions i would use for the install as follows:
Use ISO burner software to extract the game. When extracted, go into the GENERALS folder and execute C&C Generals+Zero Hour.exe
Let the game install itself in the normal directory - the C drive.
IMPORTANT PART: Once installed, go to Start, Programmes, EA Games, Generals > click through all of the 6 "reg nycklar" one by one and add them to your registry.
Go to C drive, "Program" folder, (not the Program Files folder- look
closely you will see there are 2.)
Go to EA Games, Command & Conquer Generals, Zero Hour. Launch
generals.exe from Finewolf. Select Single player offline and enter game.
Make a short cut to the generals.exe (finewolf) where u want.
Chill![:)]( ":)")
