You gotta use the shortcut that's located inside your program files.

Unzip to your CoH main Folder. ( i got a map called botb where i got everything in: programm files\THQ\Company of Heroes\botb)

Find "Battle of the Bulge.exe" in your CoH folder (it's an icon with a soldier and BotB is written under it) and create a shortcut on your desktop. (right click => shortcut, or don't make one and just doubleclick)
Start the exe/shortcut. On DOS prompt press any key. Thats all.


If it really doesn't work, i'd suggest you to download it again, i got it from here http://companyofheroes.filefront.com/file/Battle_of_the_Bulge;85153
This comes as a .zip file, so no installer.

you have to edit pipeline.ini and add some stuff:
; pipeline.ini
; this file contains all pipeline settings

; NOTE: unless fully qualified, all paths are relative to this file

[global]
ToolsData =
WkDir =
Registry = Relic\BIA\v1.0
ForeginTools = Tools\Foreign

[p4]
RevControlPort =

[version]

[bugreport]

[project:bia_engine]
Global = 1
Parent =
Description = Base game engine project
DataSource =
DataSourceShared =
DataIntermediate = IntDataSrc\Engine
DataGeneric =
DataBurn =
DataFinal = Engine\Data
DataPreview = Engine\Data
LocaleFolder = Engine\Locale\English

; there should be one entry for each project
[project:bia]
Global = 0
Parent = bia_engine
Description = BIA mod project
DataSource =
DataSourceShared =
DataIntermediate =
DataGeneric =
DataBurn =
DataFinal = WW2\Data
DataPreview = Engine\Data
LocaleFolder = WW2\Locale\English

[project:onslaughtmod]
Global = 0
Parent = bia
Description = Onslaught Mod project
DataSource =
DataSourceShared =
DataIntermediate =
DataGeneric =
DataBurn =
DataFinal = OnslaughtMod\Data
DataPreview = OnslaughtMod\Data
LocaleFolder = OnslaughtMod\Locale\English

but this is only an example that i did for my own mod.. better ask Halftrack for specifics.. anyways, after you do this you can make a new map in WorldBuilder for this mod.
