That means:
"someone messed up with the EF files, until you restore them I'll make you quit your games on EF :P".

Do you modified the files on EF?
It could be a name changed of a folder or file. Or a Corxis' change ::)....

Which version do you have of EF and CoH? Could you post a screenshot of your launcher?

You need to make sure your base CoH is patched to 2.601 and then install EF 1.2 full, before doing the incremental updates until you get to 1.23.

Install the latest COH patch and EF patches in order as they appear..

It should work fine

Try reinstalling Eastern Front. If you don't have the lattest full version, you can download it from here (http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front).

After installing update by the launcher and check that the updates are installed in the correct path.

Perhaps you unwillingly skip an update (i.e. 1.21->1.22 and installed 1.21->1.23), therefore, the files are "incorrect".

Sometimes, between major changes (i.e. 1.0/1.01/1.02... -> 1.10, 1.10 -> 1.20) something wrong could happen, sometimes windows doesn't like to share its files, and this is more evident over vista and 7. That's why if a new full version is released, and if you have bugs after the autoupdate, it's recommended to download the new full version.
