Hi guys,

Firstly, thanks for your work on Company of Heroes.

After installing it, I can't get it to run though.

I get an error that the file 'Steam.dll' is missing. I have tried re-installing and don't have any anti-virus running. I am on Windows 8 (64).

Have you got any ideas that I can try? Really want to get it running.

Thank you

OK I feel silly now, but I resolved the issue.

In Windows 8, Windows Defender (previously known as Microsoft Security Essentials) is the built-in anti-virus software. It detected the steam.dll as a virus and deleted it.

The resolution was to open Defender, go to the Quarintined files and restore the relevant two .dll files. Then you're good to go
