--- Comment #2 from Adam Bolte abolte@systemsaviour.com --- This issue also affects Dawn of War 2: Retribution, and has a (painful) work-around involving native wintrust and msasn1 DLLs to get around the content unlock system. See this link for an explanation of how this is thought to work:
http://www.corsix.org/content/dawn-war-ii-unlockable-content
Additionally, this issue causes the contents of content.cat to be nuked upon each execution attempt of the game (either DoW2 or DoW2: Retribution), so you need to keep a backup handy for testing (or use the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" button in Steam, which is very slow), and restore the backup every time to avoid the BugSplat window.
This procedure is described in more detail here:

Also, see Bug 35553 (which I just opened) which also prevents the game from running, and that bug (unlike this one) does not have a known work-around. Bug 35553 is exclusive to Dawn of War 2 (not Retribution).
