Launcher starts and then immediately closes

When I launch the launcher, its window opens, but it just sits there with a blank window and a busy cursor for a few seconds, then closes. At first I thought maybe I needed to subscribe to something from the Workshop so it'd have something to display, but I've done that and it hasn't changed the symptoms. Anything I can try, troubleshooting-wise? Win7, 64-bit.

In unrelated news, let me add my voice to the chorus of people thanking you for making a SteamOS / GNU/Linux-compatible game engine. I know I just said I'm using Win7, but that's just what I'm booted into right now and I'm one of the vast army of people who want to use GNU/Linux exclusively but keep an MS Windows install around as a gamer's concession to harsh reality. :)

Delete the local content and re-install. Should work after that.

This is literally my first time launching, so I'm not holding out a whole lot of hope, but...sure, why not. Maybe there's something different in the upstream files today that somehow didn't get delivered with an update.

[EDIT] Nope, have reinstalled and the symptoms are unchanged.

I have this exact same issue and have never been able to run the program.

Yeah, I essentially gave up, sad to say. I check every once in a while but I'm not holding out much hope.

It looks like we've nearly got the 100 games needed for launch, so I am looking to finish this up some time this spring.

Thank you for your reply [developer]... Just so I'm clear by your post, so this is a known issue and you are working to address it and hope to have resolution to the matter by the spring of 2017 since you've reached your goal of 100 games needed for launch?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

So, for everybody's information, I tried again tonight after I saw an update go by recently (yesterday or something, I think) and now everything seems to be working and I was able to play one of the games. Looks like the issue is resolved, at least for me. :)
