Earlier version of lazylaunch

[paranoid]

.NET 2.0 is not supported on Vista operating system.

So I assume to fix all my problems i just need to go out and buy Windows 7...

No, I don't think that will make it work.
Lazylaunch worked perfectly for me in Windows XP. I think it's more likely that the problems are caused by the new security features in Vista. maybe you have to give it more permissions or something like that. My experience with Vista is pretty limited.

As for the .NET framework, it's only necessary for some of the utilities like the one you tried (Valkirie's GUI).
Lazylaunch should work without it. Maybe you should try running it from command line to see if you get any error messages. (windows->run->"cmd.exe" to get a "DOS terminal")

Anyway, I attached an older version of Lazylaunch to this post.

There are some different launchers uploaded here:

Maybe one would work for you, but it does sound a bit like the problem is Starcraft 2 wont run. You might want to check to see if your Anti Virus is Norton, AVG or Mcafee. Not sure what AVs do not stop these launchers from working other than Avast, the free version without firewall. Not sure about the version with firewall.
