Hi ! I need some help too...

I installed EF in the right folder :
F:Steam/Steamapps/Common/Company of Heroes
(I'm a steam user and my steam games are in this directory).

I updated the game until the 1.2.3.2 (same destination folder : F:Steam/Steamapps/Common/Company of Heroes)

in the end, the updater says that "eastern front mod is up to date" but when I'm trying to launch the game, I've got this message :
Unable to locate Company of heroes directory

Did I do something wrong ?

==============================================

edit : I solved the problem :

the COH directory in the launcher settings wasn't the good one.
I fixed it and it works by now.  ;D

Could you check that "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes" has this value, D:\Program Files\THQ\Company Of Heroes, on InstallLocation?

If everything is correct could you try this?

Open EF, probably you'll get an "unable to find company of heroes directory" error, you should follow this steps.

1)Open EF Launcher
2)Click OK on Error Message
3)Click on Settings Menu
4)Change the current path of CoH to the correct one. Currently you should have nothing, just a grey text box.
5)After chosing the correct path,  you can now play from the launcher. Of course, perhaps you'll need to update your EF. If you updated EF before solving this error, most probably won't be able to update by the launcher, if not you should click on the "Check for Updates" button.

If you updated EF before solving this error, you should follow these steps:
1)Go to CoH folder, then to EF_Updates or something like that, you will recognize the correct folder because it stores the patches you download.
2)Execute each update in their respective order(Updates from 1.21 or above).
3)You are ready to play the lattest version of EF.

Reinstall EF with admin rights. This means a registry is missing.
