Same error : EF Mod does not appear to be installed on your system.

You sure you got 32 bit OS?

[Rikard Blixt]

You could try to manually apply 1.2.1.0, might fix it since it readds all keys.

I patched manually, but still launcher don't work... In fact "-dev -mod Eastern_Front" shortcut works fine. But without doing update ofcourse

Note: I uninstalled and installed game again, and patch it trough 1.2.1.0...

Do you check that the updates were installed on the correct path?

No... Just fix the path on the launcher settings. It should appear empty and gray . Click on "Select" and choose the path where its installed, I suppose "someunit:\dir\steamapps\CoH\".

Right click your Shortcut to RelicCoH.exe (Company of Heroes) and at the end add "-dev -mod Eastern_Front" (without ")

It works!


But Eastern Front Launcher still not working, and says always:" EF Mod does not appear to be installed on your system" So for this reason i cant update EF mod too... Any suggestions...??
Note: i tried showing locating and regedit stuff... no hope!

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.

I hope this helps .

I have the same problem as well. Eastern Front mod can't find COH directory. I am running a 64 bit Windows. I have the latest patch to CoH: TV. I installed 1.2.0.0. EF and I manually downloaded and installed all patches to 1.2.3.2.

My CoH directory was C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\CoH\, I got this error and checked the forums, and I deleted it and reinstalled to C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes,  but I still get the same error.

I started thinking maybe EF doesnt run on 64bit? Any ideas?

I use EF and have a 64 bits OS...

In either case, could you post a screenshot of your CoH Directory?

Also open regedit (start menu->run->regedit) and search for these 2 keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{97AFD0D8-5720-4A59-BFDC-CB92A36FADF9}_is1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes

Export them(right click over the folder->Export), and paste them here, change the extension from reg to txt if necessary or you can just paste the strings here.

Here's my CoH directory:  (dont mind it being in Turkish )
