This would be better posted in Tech Issues & Bugs, as that's where most of the forum's techheads hang out, but I'll do some quick troubleshooting questions.
1) Are you clicking or double-clicking? Is it a desktop shortcut, start menu shortcut, or Quick Launch/Dock shortcut? Windows or Mac?
2) Check the target for the shortcut.
3) Try launching it from its actual location, rather than a shortcut.
4) What sort of "defensive" software are you running (Firewall/AV/Anti-Spyware/Pre-emptive sorts), and check the control panels for those.

Double clicking, desktop shortcut, Windows, I tried to re-install the new NCsoft Launcher, after I did, I clicked "Run", yet again, nothing popped up. Firewall, Advanced System Care 4.
I forgot to mention that I got the City of heroes "Going Rogue" CD disk, the one where you put the CD in and it installs the game, but not knowing that I already had it installed. So it's re-downloading from the old city of heroes patcher and not the NCsoft Launcher.
Try running it as an Admin. That usually what patchers need to work as intended.
Liberty Server
Active Character: Canadian Firestorm
Fire/Rad Controller Level 50
Tried that, it says "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."
I put NCsoft Launcher as an exception on my fire wall too, still nothing. I'm guessing it has something to do with my virus scanner blocking it but, I don't know how to unblock programs on that.
As some of you may notice, this is my 3rd thread about errors and problems involving City of heroes in the past day. Seems like I just freakin' fail when it comes to this game.
So the problem NOW is when I click on the NCsoft Launcher shortcut, nothing shows up. It shows the cursor hourglass for about a second then, nothing happens. Nothing pops up, I don't see it in the task manager, uuuuuugh. :/ Any suggestions...?
