Launcher will not start, gets "Unable to load application configuration

[RevZMan123]

Nope. SWTOR support gave me a couple other things to try relating to profiles and such. I'll report back.

Maybe consider an inplace repair  

I gather this is WIn 7

[RevZMan123]

In-pace repair is on my short list of "drastic things to try" this weekend.

It's a toss up between that and a system state file restore from an August backup of the Windows folder.

Sounds like you got a virus from some where a guild member had an issue like this after playing swtor since launch he could not load it turns out his PC was infected with a virus and a reinstall of the OS fixed the issue.

[RevZMan123]

Yeah, the "virus" is called namehelp DNS Optimizer. It was at the same time this happened and many other "localhost" routes are broken currently. I have been having trouble with Thunderbird as well as Giganews Accelerator. I wish the dev would get back to me to help remove the * that was changed. Yes, I tried several reinstalls and uninstalls of that; even with Revo uninstall running in hunter mode.

I'm thinking restore of some kind at this point too.

Of course DNS program start of the issues and I should of thought of this before

Maybe you should actually do this first

[RevZMan123]

Yep, I had tried that already.

Bugger back to the drawing board ....

The in place repair maybe the go, downside affects are minimal apart from doing windows updates after
