Problem installing C&C: Generals - Zero Hour

[Guest]

Well, when I try to install Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour, about half
way through the installation, a message pops up saying
"Error 1305.Error reading from file ....\EA Games\Command & Conquer Generals
Zero Hour\MusicZH.big. Verify that the file exists and that you can access
it."
My friend installed the game with the same CDs without the problem. I tried
installing the same game with different corrupt CDs last week (I think I
uninstalled it properly), should I take my computer back a week and try
again? Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi Gimble,

Try copying the contents of the CDs to your hard drive and
then run the installation. It should overcome that 1305 error.
