i cannot get the turbine launcher to show up

Please provide more information -
What OS do you use and how are you starting the game?
Have you checked the DDO folder and tried running the launcher manually?
What firewall do you use and is it blocking the exe?
Does the latest launcher log file show any errors?

Have you tried copying the backup folder contents into the DDO folder?

Windows 7
Zone Alarm firewall (disabled when I play DDO)
tried both by the shortcut, run command, and the folder.
Right Now I am re-downloading and installing. When i tried to run the launcher from backup, it said it was missing components, run a repair

Thats because the launcher exe file you used was in the wrong folder and couldn't find files. Are you launching DDO via the "TurbineInvoker" not "Turbinelauncher"? On 7/Vista the game creates a shortcut to this in "Games" but these shorcuts function somewhat differently from the normal ones.

Try this open C:\Program Files (x86)\Turbine\Dungeons and Dragons Online and look for "TurbineInvoker" (it will be the one with the red DDO "shield" icon) and right-click it and choose "Send to" > "Desktop (Create Shortcut)" and try launching from that.

Also make sure you aren't running any of the exe files in there under "Compatibility mode" (right-click TurbineInvoker, TurbineLauncher and dndclient > Properties > Compatibilty tab, or "Run as Administrator" either, also invoker/launcher will be the one with the shield icon but client will have a gray "box" icon).
