Hi joe, and welcome to the forums.  Are you trying to add EF to the version of CoH that you got on a retail DVD set?  You should find that when you logon that it tells you there are updates, and the game will download and install for you then restart.  From my original DVD there are heaps of patches so the process takes quite a while.  After a few updates you'll get to a version that installs a peer-to-peer bittorrent client which can make further updates faster.  After the last one is applied you'll be able to logon to multiplayer games.  At that point your CoH is ready and you can exit, and install EF, and all should be well.

You should only need to run and it would patch automatically , If not I recommend searching the internet ( There might be some on 'the patches scrolls.com')

you can download them from the official site, http://cohpatch.relic.com/ with your favorite torrent client.

You will know from what patch will start depending of the CoH game you have or if you can access the main menu in the bottom-center of the screen appears the version, remember to patch up to 2.601.

I would recommend Vuze(formerly Azureus) or µTorrent.

Cheers.
