Have you tried downloading world builder off the internet again? And if so and it still doesn't work then go to the search thing, in any folder, and type in World builder

where would i download it?

AFAIK, since WorldBuilder is packaged with the game itself, there is no location to download it from. WorldBuilder should be located under: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour by default installation. The file name is WorldBuilder.exe and should be the last item listed with sorted by filename. Please verify that this file is there before proceeding for more support.

yea its not here, i have had 2 copies of the first decade and havent been able to find it on either copy, they have been installed on different computers, one was xp and this one is windows 7

It is present in my copy of TFD on Windows 7. For me it's: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour\WorldBuilder.exe As far as I know, there is no place to download World Builder for Zero Hour, since it is (supposed to be) included with the game. You could try reinstalling the game as an administrator; I don't see why that would be a problem, but maybe worth a shot.

i searched that and there were no matches

Posted by: Drummin - Saturday, January 9, 2010 12:24:39 PM
You keep saying "searched". I know I said it before but are you manually looking for the file by clicking, [b]C[/b] Then [b]Program Files[/b] Then [b]EA Games[/b] Then [b]Command & Conquer The First Decade[/b] Then [b]Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour[/b] Then looking for "[b]WorldBuilder[/b]", the last file located in this folder?

clicking C and program files where? thanks for all this help btw

Posted by: Drummin - Saturday, January 9, 2010 4:34:54 PM
You should have "My Computer" on your desktop or maybe by clicking start. This should bring up a window showing different sections of your computer. In most cases, your primary hard drive is given the letter "C" so you'll see something like "Local Disk:C". If you installed your games to a different "Drive letter" such as "D" then that is where you would be looking. Clicking on "Local Disk:C" will open another window showing things on this drive. You may see folders like "Documents and Settings" and "Programs" or "Program Files". Inside the "Programs Files" folder you should see a folder called "EA Games", (the folder created when you installed your games). In your case you would then see another folder called "Command & Conquer The First Decade". Inside this folder you will then see another folder called "Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour". OK, when you opened the last folder you will see several folders and files. The WorldBuilder file should be at the bottom of this window and the icon looks like a blue globe. Right-click on this icon and select "Create Shortcut". You'll want to "Drag" this shortcut to your desktop so move your windows until you can see your desktop and drag it to your desktop. Close all the windows you opened. Double-click on your new WouldBuilder shortcut and you should be in business. FYI: When you see a string of names with "\" between the names, this is a pathway and in most cases these names are folder names. The "\" means that the name after the "\" is inside the folder before the "\". So in this case you're opening each of the folders to get to the file (WorldBuilder.exe) you're looking for. C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour\WorldBuilder.exe
