Cannot install.

[Vuther]

I've downloaded the setup file from the Download here! link on the front page, but the installation doesn't work. I get errors:

Eastern Front Setup
Error opening file for writing:

C:\Programs Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\Eastern_Front.module

Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.

Retrying doesn't work, and ignoring causes a new error over a new file: (C:\Programs Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\EF_DLC1.module, C:\Programs Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\EF_DLC2.module, C:\Programs Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\EF_DLC3.module, C:\Programs Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\EF_Launcher.exe...) so I haven't install the entire thing yet.

If you are using eastern front close it ... if not then wait 4~5 minutes and click retry, most likely will work...

In your position I would wait a couple of further hours, because then will be released the new soviet version

:O... I the problem that Vuther has happened to me when installing the third patch, but that's a windows error and probably, will be back again, if not in his/her pc perhaps in another one ; and the easy way to fix it is waiting a couple of minutes and click retry.

* Is that your real company of heroes folder (where you installed CoH?)?
* Is your company of heroes folder "Read - only"?
* Are you sure not are not running the game?

* Yes, there is the 'RelicCoH' application located right in it which I can open to load up the non-mod game.
* It is.
* I am not running either the non-mod game, or the mod game, especially since the mod game hasn't been installed, hence my problem.

Do you waited for 3~4 minutes before click on retry ?? that worked for me.

Perhaps is related to permisions...

[Rikard Blixt]

Read-Only? That's probably the reason.

If you're using Vista/Win7 with non-admin rights (or UAC on) it doesn't let all applications to change Program Files folder. Maybe it's blocking EF installer. Try launching it with admin rights (or UAC temporary off)

[Vuther]

Yep, that was the issue - a lack of administrator powers. Installed perfectly on an account that had them. In that case, you might want to patch it to warn people who are as silly as me.
