EF Launcher won't start

Hi there,
I've got a little problem with the EF launcher. When I try to run it, it crash. Got to shut down the program. Nothing more happens.

In the EF log file I have:

Any idea ? Thanks

Which version of EF do you have?

I've installed the 1.2 full version.

You need 1.23. Press update on your launcher.

If your launcher crash before it shows up:

Go to CoH Directory\EF_Launcher_Config.ini and change this line Auto_Update=True to Auto_Update=False. After that, do Seeme's advice and post what happens :P.

EDIT: By the way, are you behind a firewall? That could be the reason that doesn't connect.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
