Unable to locate CoH directory
« on: November 20, 2010, 02:34:11 PM »
  It seems EF installer doesn't registers the game to Windows (vista Sp2)... Therefore i cant start the game - it says "unable to locate" CoH directory. And when set CoH dir from EF Launcher/Settings nothing changes... When i next time enter to settings CoH dir is empty  ???
 I have retail version of all 3 CoH and 2.601 version...I have installed .NET framework 3.5 SP1 And i installed EF 1.2 FULL which i downloaded from some mirror with internet download manager program (if these are important)

And oh btw installer doesn't accepts "Company of Heroes: Eastern Front"(default) for program folder dir. So i remove ":" and then continue installing without any error...

I checked Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel there is "Company of Heroes: Eastern Front 1.20"

In another topic which is about same problem i see a developer saying "Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes ... ..." but in my regedit there is no \Company of Heroes after \Uninstall

Are you sure you have any game of Company of Heroes installed(vanilla, Opposing Fronts or Tales of Valor)?

If you don't have a 64 bits OS, you should not be looking in that path. Look in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes".

Can you create a shorcut for EF and try to play the game?

"C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies

Yes, but I don't know why...

Did you install Microsoft Visual c++ redistributable 2005 & 2008??

Did you install .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.0??
But as you have 3.5 sp1 i don't know if that matters...
