Help uninstalling after bugged or failed install

For the past few hours - and after several failed installs - I've been trying to uninstall Eastern Front.

However, after referring to the forums, I cannot find the 'uninstall Eastern Front' exe. that people have recommended.

I want to start my install from scratch, and manually deleting the files doesn't seem to be doing the job.

The problem seems to be stemming from this:

Each time I try to start a new install into the SteamApps/Common/CoH folder this error seems to pop up. I can install the game after this error but the game then states that it cannot find the "CoH Relic" exe.

It's all proving very frustrating.

Thanks for the help  :)

Doesn't seem so. There is currently no file for Eastern Front on my PC after I removed them all, yet this still comes up when I start a brand new install.

check your permissions. By the way, what OS are you using?

Vista.

And nothing is blocked or being refused permission to run.

It's a complete pain in the arse; I really want to get this working.

Re: Help uninstalling after bugged or failed install

Open task manager and terminate process "EF_Launcher.exe", your restart your computer. Should do the job.

Since he use Steam's version, shall he point to EFLauncher where this file lies?
