IT WORKED!
Just came from skirmish game, Ty so much for all support and help.
And where can i get EF launchers icon? :D

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.

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

@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?

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?

Just reinstall OF. You don't need to install vCoH and then OF.
