Possible to install cod without steam?

[zahnartz62]

Thanks,Chivas..there is my problem..Steam verifies my installation files but when I use the steam tool bar icon it says missing .exe file. "The dog chasing its tail" problem. I bought a new copy of COD $20 from Steam Store yesterday thinking it would solve my problem with Steam..I hit the start icon and get same message..missing .exe. My team fusion MOD install starts but some mission files not recognized. My MALTA loaded and ready but will not execute start. I tried installing CoD on laptop thinking I could move to PC and get .exe but it would not show up on my C drive as it was installed in Steam, so I am frustrated. I see the value of Steam and have had no problems until making separate installs. I have written to them asking for help hoping for a phone call. The problem is probably simple and obvious but I do not have the backgroung in computers necessary. Thank you for your reply. John
