Hi All,
I solved this issue for a client today when running configuration Manager during installation.
After asking for the language it gives the error: ALC-LCM-000-020 "Failed to launch Configuration Manager".
The Configuration Manager log file contains the stack trace below.
It was very similar to this issue (reported in Cold Fusion): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/228722
I discovered the installation was running from a domain administrator account, which had Windows Explorer Shell paths locked out.
I got them create a local administrator account (not a domain account), and it worked
Good luck!
Tim
