Your installation location is likely wrong, could also be directory in settings is wrong. Check these first. However the most common case for this is that you are using Steam Version, where it cannot auto select the install folder. Uninstall Eastern Front and then reinstall it. You must manually switch the install folder to CoH folder. Normally "C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Company of Heroes" (Steam Version) or "C:/Program Files/THQ/Company of Heroes" (None-Steam Version).  Remember to look at "C:/Program Files (x86)" if you use x64 OS.


Hope it helps.

Re: Help

But which one? retail or steam?

If you have steam one and installed in the correct path, check on the launcher settings, and set the correct path if necessary.

Like described in this section:

For Steam Users
Normally your Steamfolder will be here, But if you have changed yours link it to there

"C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Company of Heroes"

None Steam Users
Normally you installation will be here, Change if needed

C:/Program Files/THQ/Company of Heroes

Besides the screenshot is from an old version the information about the path is still accurate. If you changed the directory, let's say added one more folder after CoH or created a new one for EF, it won't work; it needs to be installed on Company of Heroes Directory.
