Dawn of War 2 unable to launch!!!!!!!

Hello,

I recently purchased Dawn of War 2, installed it on my computer (Windows XP) along with Steam (which it did automatically). So far, no problems, but when I try to launch the game… BAM, it cancels itself!!!

Let me explain: when I click on "play Dawn of War," (what it suggests when I insert my CD into the computer), a window opens telling me "preparing to launch Dawn of War 2..." and a "cancel" button is also in this window... The game presses cancel by itself: I can clearly see it, the button is pressed as if I was clicking on it myself…

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know how to fix it?

Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    This game must be activated on Steam via the internet or you need to find a crack.
    Like for Red Alert 3, Half-Life 2, and others. If you don't have internet, you won't be able to play without a crack.

    Up, after an update for COD 6 Modern Warfare 2, it behaves exactly the same way, the game automatically presses the cancel button, before the update (5 hours ago) I was playing normally in multiplayer.

    The problem occurs both in solo and multiplayer.

    If anyone has a solution.

    Same for me, it doesn't start, I'm going to lose it.

      I have done everything, I installed the game, all the different executable files, entered the CD key, created a Games for Windows account, rebooted the PC, uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same problem: Dawn of War cancels at launch. I don't understand anything anymore. By going through the file C:\ProgramFiles\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\Common\DawnOfWar2 to launch the file dow2.exe, I get an error message:
      "The application or DLL D:\valve\steam\SteamApps\common\Dawn of War 2\Util.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check using your installation disk"
      which has nothing to do with it. The other file DOW2.exe opens on a security catalog and therefore does not execute.
      I admit that I am out of ideas now.
