Let's guess ;D!! Perhaps you didn't install EF on the correct path,

Example of a correct path:
C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\

Example of an incorrect path:
C:\Program Files\THQ\
C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\AnyFolder
or any other folder different than the Company of Heroes directory one

Uninstall it and install it again on the right path.

Could you check what value have the following entry?

Open regedit(Start menu->run->regedit).
Then find this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes
or if you have a 64 bits OS:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes
Paste the value of InstallLocation here.

You only have steam CoH installed, right?

That's weird, i don't know if that registry(the missing one) should be created though. I modified the registry to check if it can help you. Run it, it will create the aforementioned registry with the path you provided in your last post.

Try the registry file that i upload in this topic. Remember to edit it replacing his path with yours.

i was talking about a screenshot of the directory on the explorer(c:\program files...) :).

But now you mention it, could you check if your Company of Heroes registry have the correct InstallLocation?

You shouldn't have problems finding it, it's on the same level than App4560.

yeah i realized that after i posted that wasnt what you were asking for... Hopefully this is. and the InstallLocation says its: E:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes now if thats not it then i dont know how to find it/ dont see another company of heroes folder to go to.
