Client Crash Error

[hellidar]

I just downloaded the client and it installed and downloaded just fine. However, when I run the actual program, I get an error message that goes like this:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): ?
at com.turbine.launcher.Services.Patcher.InitializePa tchWrapper()
at com.turbine.launcher.Services.Patcher.BeginPatchin g(Boolean ignorePatchWindow)
at com.turbine.launcher.Launcher.Patch(Boolean invokedByConnectRetry)
at com.turbine.launcher.Launcher.Patch()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallba cks()

I have been playing the pen-and-paper D&D for some time now and I decided to give the MMO a shot. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thursday and Friday in the US are a holiday for most people across the country, that said:

If you are on vista and are receiving this message, it could be because the shortcut which runs the Invoker (DDO icon) has the wrong "Start in:" folder. To determine if this is the case, please follow the instructions below.

Click Start
Click Games
Right-click “The Lord of the Rings Online” icon
Click Customize
Select “Play”
Click Edit button

“Start In” should read “C:\Program Files\Turbine\Dungeons and Dragons Online\

If the Invoker has the correct “Start in” folder, open a command window. To do so:

1. Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt
2. Select: Run as Administrator
3. type: cd "C:\program files\turbine\dungeons and dragons online\"
4. Hit enter
5. type: regsvr32 .\PatchWrapper.dll
6. Hit enter (you should get a success message)
7. type: regsvr32 .\PatchWrapperPS.dll
8. Hit enter (you should get a success message)
9. Try launching the game again.

If the registration fails, you will see a descriptive message (rather than just an exit code) which should help you find the exact problem.

I got the same launcher error.
DDO is in C:\games\turbine
I tried following your fix.
following the cd command I got this message:The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I tried the cd command using C:\games\turbine
Itried regsvr32
got failed to load responce

put the directory structure to whatever yours is instead of the default.
