Weird, looks like everything is as should be. In this case you can make a shorcut for EF and installing the patches manually if necessary.

Other users have been fixed this problem using a shorcut, so, I'll help you creating a shorcut.

Could you post the target path from a shorcut you created using coh exe?

BTW, remember that the executable file of coh is RelicCoH.exe not CoH.exe

Do you have the last version of CoH? If you don't have 2.601, any "recent" mod will run.

You installed EF on Company of Heroes folder? If not(and this extends being installed on any self-created folder on CoH path), uninstall and reinstall it on "D:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\".

Did your shorcut has this as target? "D:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies

If the answer to the last question is yes, what happens when you try to run it?

I also have the "Unable to find CoH directory" problem. I am using the steam version of CoH and I originally set the file to go to this path "C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes and my game is patched to the latest version but still it will not work when using the launcher. I attempted to also create a shortcut as some have suggested, using this directory path "C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies
 but it only led me to a file that held the RelicCoH.exe files.

Are you sure your shorcut has the correct path?

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

and not this:

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

The exe is there... can you post an screenshot of you error?

Are you sure you write correctly the target?

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

With quotes like is shown above, white spaces between parameters(-dev, -mod, etc.) and with the hyphen before dev, mod and nomovies??
