Try this:
Make a folder in the deskop, call it CoH.
Find the CoHUpdater.exe file from your current install of CoH and make a *copy* in that folder.
Run it from there.
It should then find the original install and figure itself out.
Has to do with it trying to make a copy of itself the first time... this is the first time for her user account, so it gets screwed up. The second copy trick fixes that.
You can delete that folder, or use it to run in the future, doesn't matter, that'd up to you, after you get it working.
Hope that helps!

Thnx Houtex. That certainly sounded simple enough but perhaps I am just not savvy enough to understand. Did you mean to copy the Target path from the Updater Properties screen and then paste it into the new folder on her desktop? If so that would not work, when I got back to the folder on her desktop and tried to paste the path, I had no Paste option, it was greyed out. So, I e-mailed the path to myself and could copy it from the the e-mail and had a Paste option when I got to the new folder on her desktop but..... nothing pasted. I expect I am not doing at all what you suggested. Could you or somebody give my dense skull a step-by-step on how I might get what I thought was going to be a simple deal to work? Thanks in advance.
Copy the CoHUpdater.exe file and paste it into the folder on the desktop.
Not the path, the file.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Yeah, that.

I am having an issue with setting up a 2nd User account on my Vista 64 bit Home Premium computer. I added my daughter as a Standard User and authorized CoH to be run from her account. UAC in Vista is off btw. But, when I try to launch the game from her desktop, the updater errors out saying I can only run one application of the updater at a time. Thing is there is not another user running the game or the updater. Any suggestions to get the dang updater to be able to launch from her desktop?
