Do you have CoH on Steam?
Is the OS in your pc x86 or x64?
What is your Company of Heroes path/directory?
-

-
Could you post a screenshot of your CoH directory on windows explorer?

Did you just dragged the files there or you actually installed them on that path?
Do you have an original version of CoH?
-
I installed them there, version is 2.601
-
You should install them in the root of CoH directory, this is "E:\Games\ToV", since you have RelicCoH.exe there.
I wonder what happened to the OP ????

Did you check the EF directory within the EF launcher settings?
-
if you mean Launcher/Settings/CoH Directory Even if i show it immediately turns blank.
-
Try to create a shorcut like this:
"E:\Games\ToV\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies
And use it to play EF, hope that works.

Just open the shortcut's properties, find change icon, than, in the menu appeared, write the way to the EF launcher file. Simple as this.

I have same problem I am using dvd version of the game and i have all patches, 1.30 of ef, i have just Coh, i've opposingfronts too but it isnt installed.when i click to play it says "cannot find file location" when i press for check for updates it says "coh doesnt apear on your system" i have tried to change coh directory in the ef settings bu Even if i change immediately turns blank. i also searched for your advice which is
If what @IJoe suggested didn't fix it, open regedit(start menu->run->regedit) and search for this path:
If you have 32 bits OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes
If you have 64 bits OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes
and check if the path there is the correct location of your CoH Directory.
WHat is this? i find that location's folders and i dont understand what i should do? my coh directory is true also.

@Panzer
That registry key has a String value called "InstallLocation", it's value must be your current company of heroes directory. If has anything else or doesn't exists EF launcher will give an error.

Did you have retail or steam CoH?
What is your CoH directory?
Do you use a 64-bits or 32-bits OS?
-
Looks like you are missing an end quotation mark on InstallLocation string.
Or... you are not supposed to have a start quotation mark on the same one. Try adding in the end, then removing both.
-
@Rizz
:o!! How could I overlooked that!!
@Panzer
Rizz is right, you need to remove the quotation mark from it... that value doesn't need it.

-
:-\... remove the last back-slash from the InstallLocation value and try again ???.
Could you post also the values of this path?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{97AFD0D8-5720-4A59-BFDC-CB92A36FADF9}_is1
can you export it, zip' it and upload it here?
-
ups i dont have it
-
Looks like that key isn't needed anymore since 1.30 :-\... my bad.
Could you try to reinstall CoH? Are you using a pirate version?
-
nope its orginal version. i will reinstall coh and opposing, i dont have tales of valor maybe thats the reason?
-
Just reinstall OF. You don't need to install vCoH and then OF.
