It did not create one.
Where is the directory?  Remember, I am a computer noob.

Bugs & Tech Support / No Start Up Option

« on: September 30, 2010, 04:21:11 AM »

I downloaded the mod from ModDB.  After installing, I was informed that I can access the game through the shortcut I created in the folder I created (Company of Heroes Easter Front).   I do as follows,

All Programs --> Company of Heroes Easter Front --> ... When I get here, there is no start option--just a non-working uninstall option. wtf?

I'm sure I'm making some noob mistake.  I just need to know what it is.

Good to know! I give ModDB a try tomorrow.

So should I try uninstalling this other weird thing?  I tried earlier and it looks like I may need to do it manually 

Thanks for providing great support for a great mod!  Defiantly getting my friends in on this.

I'm not sure if it is downloaded or not, but I'll check.  (Sometime tomorrow) 

I got the file from FileFront and I had it download onto my existing COH file.  I did make a separate folder for the the launcher, though. 

From you response, I'm going to venture a guess that FileFront isn't the best. (I wouldn't know, I usually use Strategy Informer)

Bugs & Tech Support / 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

Hey all!
I've been kicking around downloading this mod for a while.  I finally broke down and did it. Everything was going swimmingly until I tried to start it.  When I double-clicked, a window popped up with the header, 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem.  The window then reads,

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\MYDOCU~\DOWNLO~1\COH_EN~1.EXE
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS: 0e0e IP:0es7 OP:ff ff ff ff ff Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Options are to select 'close' and 'ignore'.  If you push 'close', the window closes and if you select 'ignore' the "Oes7" changes.

my pc is running on Windows XP. 

I have no idea what's up?  Has anyone ever had this problem or knows how to fix it?

Thanks!
