I'll check, but I'm pretty sure that I saw a popup when I ran the game for the first time that the whole COH file was added as an exception in AV program.
Try readding it, it happens sometimes you have to do this if that doesn't work try deleting the tequila key in the registry. Then when you start tequila again it should ask you for the install path again chose your game folder and see if that works.
deleting Tequila registry settings with Start -> Find/Run -> REG DELETE HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tequila
Added the whole COH file to antivirus exception, and deleted Tequila/registry - downloaded fresh Tequila and ran it, went through validating the files, but still crashing about 95% through downloading the SCORE.EXE file. Any other suggestions?
Download this archive, it's the score folder and score.exe from my game folder. Just use winrar or 7zip to open it and put the score folder and the score.exe in your game folder.

About the throw in the towel on this - it's telling me I need admin permissions to save this file in the COH folder, even though I'm logged into the computer on the admin account.
Is there a way to just uninstall eveyrthing (Tequile and all the COH files) and start from scratch? I want to play the game, but given the limited amount of time I have to actually play, this is more work than I have the patience for.
