Had no effect as far as I could tell on getting the launcher working however.

However can't get the launcher working in a 64 bit prefix (needs dotnet40 which I cant install on 64 bit)
Any solutions?

The login screen for the launcher is not apparently taking any text input, it complains about invalid email address and no password.
