Your brother has the same problem than you or is different?

Could you describe the content of the following key on regedit?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Company of Heroes

P.S. Do you have a x86 OS right? if you haven't search here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\THQ\Company of Heroes

but  under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Company of Heroes
3 regs one is CoHproductkey and weird but two installstate regs one of them says CoHinstallstate other is only installstate both installed, maybe because of CoHop?

Try adding a value like this:
Name-Type-Value
InstallDir - REG_SZ - C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\

on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Company of Heroes

just to see if it's helps :P. I'm running out of ideas :-\...

You are missing a file, "EF_Launcher_Config.ini"

paste the following content into the file
Code: [Select]
[EF_LAUNCHER_SETTINGS]
Max_Memory_Value=2
CPU_Count_Value=0
Process_Priority_Value=0
After_Start_BK=2
After_Download_Finished=1
Vsync=False
Show_Tooltips=True
Auto_Update=True
Advanced_Settings=False
Skip_Movies=True

also check that everything in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes is correct.

hi, sorry for late reply,
i have all needed registry keys, the installdir (which ive already created) in software/thq/coh and everything is in order under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes, and i have the launcher config.ini but ive tried creating a new one with the parameters you gave and it didnt worked. By the way i cannot update also, says EF not appeared to be installed in my system. No luck =\
Running out of ideas eh? =j

TO FIX THE PROBLEM OPEN YOUR LUANCHER THEN AFTER IT SAYS EF IS UP TO DATE GO TO SETTINGS AND IT SHOULD HAVE THE DIRECTORY AS BLANK ADD THE DIRECTORY TO YOUR COH FILES THEN YOU SHOULD BE DONE
