Launcher, Internal error creating window problem

[Sabre57]

I've been having an issue where the PC launcher won't start. The error I receive is "Internal error creating window: Cannot convert string '/EDlaunch;component/EliteImages/Logo48.png' in attribute 'Icon" to object.......

Once I click on OK I get another dialog box that says, in part, Unhandled Exception: Cannot create instance of 'CobraBayWindow' defined in assembly 'EDLaunch'..... Error in mark up file 'EDlaunch;component/CobraBayWindow.xaml'

I've search all over the web to find a solution but everything I've found I've tried and hasn't worked. The things I've tried are:

1. Uninstall the launcher, deleting the recommended files. reboot the PC and then re-install the launcher
2. Updated/repaired .Net
3. Deleted a line in the config file. Added it back in when it didn't work.

Does anyone know how to fix this and can you tell me how you did it?

Thanks!

Having the exact same issue as you describe. Have tried everything short of a clean OS install. Seriously thinking of refunding Odyssey over this... Cant even get into the normal game let alone the expansion...

I'm having the same issue on one of my machines after a recent windows update. I found this the following.

In my case the error was caused by a color management configuration settings. Go into your "Color Management" settings go to "Advanced" and make sure all profiles options are set to "System default...". I know it sounds strange but it worked.
