What do you mean by "add the keys to the steam one by using the keys"? Can you explain? Do I need to install TOV and OF also? Just formatted and reinstalled Windows, that is why I am asking. Got the New Steam CoH installed though.

What he means is this: For those of us that bought a retail store copy, we can register our actual CD keys with steam. You can do this from the Games Menu -> Activate a Product on Steam... at the top of the steam browser.

From that moment on, you can download your retail version of the game from steam and install it without having to use your CDs (or have your CD in the drive while playing for that matter).

If you're installing the steam version, I would assume so, yes. I don't know how it works with CoH, but with Dawn of War: WA, DC, and SS, your keys were stored in your Windows registry. Having duplicate keys may cause an issue.

thanks how do i know whaich was already on my pc and the steam one?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll give it a shot.

If you you want to go digging around in your hard drive you want to check My Computer, then click on the drive where your games are installed to. For example:

I use a 64-bit version of Windows. Therefore, the retail version installs to C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes

If I install the Steam version, it installs to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\

If you're using a 32-bit version of Windows, both of these will install to C:\Program Files\ instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\.

I would not suggest deleting the directories (folders) outright. Try to uinstall them from the Control Panel.

If you have got mods BK4.6.1.1 or EF 1.70 keep hold of it till patch comes out

well it gave me thq so i deleted that on the C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes. Thanks

keep it on to play the old replays etc as the steam version will not play them yet

I bought the CoH complete Version here over Steam. This means, i have CoH, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor installed. Now also the CoH Steam Version. So now i have 4 CoH Games in my Steam Inventory. Should i delete the 3 old ones, or is OF and ToV needed for the new Steam Version? I still want to play with all 4 Factions plus the ToV Campaign.

"If you own the game on Steam, you’ll already have the new version, the aptly titled “Company of Heroes (New Steam Version)”, in your Library. It’s a single launch option – so any expansions have been rolled into the DLC tab of the listing’s properties menu."
