Unzip the contents and Copy/Paste the files to your install location for the game.

In the install location of your game right click "wic.exe" and select properties. Click the compatibility tab. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows98/ME"

Navigate to Documents>World in Conflict and Locate "Game Options.txt" on your PC. Open that and scroll down to the bottom and change "myDX10Flag 0" to "myDX10Flag 1"

Right click Game Options.txt and select properties. Check the box to make the file read only. Click Apply. Then click OK.

Worked for me!

If it still doesnt work try downloading this, Unzip the contents, then Copy/Paste into your game install location.

(Should be the same files as the above link but chrome does not like to download this directly by just clicking the link. You must right click the link address and select "Copy link address" and then paste into the browser. Otherwise chrome will open a tab and then immediately close it without downloading anything.)

Also you need to download something called Large Address Aware and target the wic.exe and apply it to fix crashes later on in the game.
