I appear to be having the same issues as she is. Nothing's changed yet, i'm having these problems that I wasn't having just a week or two ago.
It had worked through Avast!, even without me making a firewall exception for the program / running as Administrator.
"Unable to launch client process."
The system cannot find the specified files.
Failed to start client!
--- Edit ---
Disabled Avast! Immediately works, even though I made an exception to the program in the firewall for it.
--- Edit ---
Fixed it permanently, had to give the packets special rules inside of the Avast! Firewall, allowing In / Out instead of just Out.
