----- ===== Installation ===== -----
1. Installation for PC users
Unpack the archive to any folder on your computer. Run "ContraLauncher" file.
Select language and music you wish and click "Launch" button. Launcher will
automaticly locate the game, copy all necessary files and launch Zero Hour.
When you exit the game launcher automaticly deletes all Contra files from
Zero Hour folder.
Launcher has the option - "Leave the mod attached to Zero hour on exit".
It tells it don't to delete Contra files from Zero Hour folder. If
files are not deleted then the mod stays attached to the game and you can
start it without launcher - just start the game. Contra will start automaticly.
If you want to deattach Contra from Zero Hour then start the Contra launcher
and click "Exit" button.

content of Contra and Zero Hour files manually. It will definitely cause
serious troubles such as crashes, network mismatch errors and other problems.

Some of these files are already existing in your Generals Zero Hour. It is
recomended to backup original files before overwriting them.
