Unable to Locate Company of Heroes Directory error
« on: January 05, 2011, 09:41:04 AM »
Ok...so I followed the download and installation instructions to a T. Using Steam, game is totally patched to latest version. All files placed in the proper folder. Launcher states game is up to date. When I click play I get the following: Unable to Locate Company of Heroes Directory

Anyone know what to do about this? :'(

This might be the "CoH directory" wrongly set:
run the launcher,
go to "Settings" (top left in the launcher window, next to "language"),
look in lower right corner of the window appeared,
make sure the path, indicated there complies with the actual directory of the installation of the game.

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.
