I would like to install COH from my disc
All of my Steam games have been lost due to a hard drive replacement.
I have a few discs containig games which are part of my Steam account.
Rather than spend a great deal of time and bandwidth I would like to install them from these discs.
The first one I have tried is COH and I am not having a lot of success.
I tried the procedure recommended by steam, see below.
_______________________________________________________________________
Using Steam launch options to install retail games from disc

Log in to Steam and click on Library.
Right-click on the game, select Delete local content, and confirm.
Insert the first disc into your computer.
Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
Press Windows Key + R to open Run
In the Run window type:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:

Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.


Note:

This process is only intended for retail store bought copies of Steam games (ie. Left 4 Dead, Modern Warfare 2). It will not work for backup discs of any Steam games
_________________________________________________________________________

I changed the run type-in to suit my system as follows:-

"F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" - install I: The gap between the - and install is deliberate as Steam doesn't even launch without it.

While Steam launches that is all that happens, no sign in requests, no installation from the disc, nothing.

Any suggestions to help please!
