I had this happen, Restarting my PC actually cured it. Don't know why it took me 2 days to try but if you haven't tried this, give it a shot.

How strange! Last night I reinstalled the whole game, patched to 2.602, installed EF1.4, no more than these, and I enjoyed the MOD happily.

This morning, the EF Launcher fails immediately after start,and I have to disable the Auto update……
