Launcher.exe closing after 5 seconds, no error message

Hi Lucas, this is a long shot but I had a similar problem to yours - drove me crazy all weekend (I'm in the U.S. and picked up the game from justflight on Friday, downloaded it from steam, all seemed well but clicking on the icon just didn't launch the game - no matter how much furious clicking I engaged in!).

Long story short, I ended up having a what seems to be a pretty rare problem with my .net framework. My computer (win7 64 pro) says I have .net 4.0 installed, but in actuality there are a few files (mscoree.dll files) that for some reason or other, never got updated - and don't get updated, even if you do a repair/reinstall of .net! Here's a link to check out-

You can use a simple download to check whether your .net is actually 4.0 from here.

Anyhow, I know it's a long shot but I suppose you're willing to entertain one at this point, so if you the time read those blogs and check whether you "really" have .net 4.0.

I tried updating/reinstalling .net 4.0 but that didn't work - I finally fixed the problem by doing a repair install of win7 from the dvd, which was a pain but in the end I'm up and flying (for a few minutes at least until I blow the engine).

Good luck, figure even if this doesn't work for you it's worth it to post in case someone ends up with a similar problem -

oh and one more thing, right afterward the repair install it didn't work, but then after windows update downloaded a whole mess of updates the game finally started.
