Station Launcher no longer works on Vista x64 ultimate

[Wizard_Thoarin]

<p>The new station launcher doesn't seem to be working.  It seemed to work fine until I installed a security patch downloaded from microsoft in the background.  After patching it doesn't do much.  It loads 2 processes but doesn't load the window to let me log in or select a game.  It pretty much haults after loading the 2 processes.  Here is the log generated in the station launcher's home directory.</p><p>2009-06-25 17:33:59 [4832] INFO  main - Bootstrapper version = main-789005 2009-06-25 17:33:59 [4832] INFO  main - Started with args =  2009-06-25 17:33:59 [4832] ERROR Bootstrapper - Other instances running - I will now exit.</p><p>I have had to revert to using the original EQ2 launcher in order to get into the game.</p><p>Just to be clear, the two processes that launch and then run in the background are:</p><p>VivoxVoiceService.exe *32</p><p>StationLauncher.exe *32</p><p>The only thing I can think of that changed between when it worked and when it didn't was the installation of a security patch from Microsoft.</p><p>I have tried using the installer for the program to repair the launcher.  I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program yet.</p><p>My system spec's include:</p><p>Core i7 920 processor</p><p>6GB RAM</p><p>500 GB SATA Hard Drive</p><p>eVGA G'Force 8800GTX</p><p>Soundblaster X-Fi Fata1ity sound card</p><p>Windows Vista Ultimate x64</p>

<p>Do you right click and run as admin?</p>

<p>Yep, I've tried the right click and run as admin.</p>

<p>station launcher also has a support forum here -</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/station/forums/list.m">http://forums.station.sony.com/stat...n/forums/list.m</a></p><p>since it is now shared across all SOE games</p>

<p>Apparently there was some minor revision to the Station Launcher, and because I wasn't running it in Compatibility Mode with Admin privledges preset on the shortcut it wouldn't download the latest build # patch.  Once I made the changes for my own curiosity, it opened an IE browser window and downloaded the latest build.  After that everything started working again.</p>
