Title: Cannot locate file: RelicCOH.exe
Post by: Contagio on January 21, 2010, 07:10:25 PM: Hi guys,

Congrats on the mod! Must be awesome to finally play this after two years!
I had the luck to discover COH only a few months ago and just recently found this site and the mod. So the waiting part was not that hard for me :)

Downloaded it today, but it will not run!
Installation goes perfect, but when I open the launcher and press 'Play EF' I get the message that RelicCOH.exe cannot be located.

I already tried to locate the COH directory, under the actions tab.

I installed the mod in it's own seperate folder (that's good right?).
I have the original COH and Opossing Fronts, both downloaded from Steam.
So I pointed the COH locator into my steam/SteamApps/common/Company of Heroes folder.

Is there something that I missed or did wrong?

Using Vista 64x, games via Steam, hardware up to-date.

Maybe someone can help me :)

Thanks. The information you provided did work :)

Maybe it is an idea, to include this information in the official download topic or something.
Just a little guide how to install the game, for steam and non-steam users.
I am a frequent visitor of twcenter.net, a community for the Total War franchise.
I am used to getting all the information to install, mainly because mods are a little more complicated to install compared to official games.

That doesn't mean that your guys did a bad job, I am impressed to say the least at the high level of the download and the installer.
The .exe provides feedback, an updater and more. Great work!

Thanks
