Title: Modify/add registry path to obtain CoH location
Post by: lexlythius on March 10, 2012, 06:44:13 PM

Hi guys,

I experienced the same problem many had when using Steam: Unable to locate CoH directory, e.g. http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=7509.msg108543 (http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=7509.msg108543). And I did fix it by creating the missing Uninstall registry key as suggested.

Anyway, why check for the uninstall location instead of this one:

Code: [Select]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Company of Heroes  >> installdir
That's the actual registry key when installed through Steam and I believe it is the same on a standard DVD installation.

Using WinXP sp2.

Oh, and thanks for putting together this mod.

I didn't notice such registry entry existed. But I've tested without the uninstall entry and it shows the error, so maybe both are needed.

Thanks for the heads up, will update that topic.
