Cannot locate file: RelicCOH.exe
« on: January 21, 2010, 07:10:25 PM »
Hi guys,

Congrats on the mod! Must be awesome to finally play this after two years!
I had the luck to discover COH only a few months ago and just recently found this site and the mod. So the waiting part was not that hard for me :)

Downloaded it today, but it will not run!
Installation goes perfect, but when I open the launcher and press 'Play EF' I get the message that RelicCOH.exe cannot be located.

I already tried to locate the COH directory, under the actions tab.

I installed the mod in it's own seperate folder (that's good right?).
I have the original COH and Opossing Fronts, both downloaded from Steam.
So I pointed the COH locator into my steam/SteamApps/common/Company of Heroes folder.

Is there something that I missed or did wrong?

Using Vista 64x, games via Steam, hardware up to-date.

Maybe someone can help me  :)

You should install EF to your CoH dir, in the Steam version it doesn't auto select the right dir, so you need to change it (read the sticky).

Hi guys,

Thanks. The information you provided did work :)

Maybe it is an idea, to include this information in the official download topic or something.
Just a little guide how to install the game, for steam and non-steam users.
I am a frequent visitor of twcenter.net, a community for the Total War franchise.
I am used to getting all the information to install, mainly because mods are a little more complicated to install compared to official games.

That doesn't mean that your guys did a bad job, I am impressed to say the least at the high level of the download and the installer.
The .exe provides feedback, an updater and more. Great work!

Thanks
