When I click on the launcher, an error message pops up saying that Launcher.xml was not found.

I'm using Vista.

Skip the launch and go straight to program files folder then the binaries folder and run the masseffect.exe or the configtool if you want to.

Well I know it's been a while since you left this post but your solution did not work for me. Do you know of any other solution? This is very frustrating.
