Check EF Launcher->settings menu->CoH directory, make sure it has the correct path.

Could you post a screenshot of your CoH directory?

Yeah, that is. I can see EF files, but i fail to see CoH ones.

You need at least one CoH game (vCoH, OF or ToV) in order to run EF.

But there isn't a CoH file there. You need to install EF over CoH. Eastern Front isn't a stand alone game, is a mod from Company of Heroes.

You need to install it over any CoH game, patched to the last version from here: http://cohpatch.relic.com/index.html
And, you should install EF into the same directory, where you previously installed CoH.
