C&C3 no-cd crack

[bigedawg]

Iam in desperate need of a no cd crack that isnt a dat file. for some reason everytime i download it from different sites even it comes back the dat file not an exe. and when i plug it into my file it doesnt work ive various websites and version numbers they are all the same PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!

could be that you need to replace the dat file from the archive with the one in the game directory to play the game without the cd

Yes, that's the reason, the file is MEANT to be a .dat file, not a .exe file, it must be extracted to the games directory.
