go here C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp, then sort by date, look for the newest folder created by date and time you patched, you should find rtpatch.txt inside the folder, scroll to the end of the txt, you will find the problem file.
Okay thanks, it says the problem is Game\Bin\Resource.cfg
I don't even know if thats supposed to be in there, but it stops the update whether its in or not.

I got the launcher and EADM working on my Win7 64bit system! Figure this out if you can!
Here is the procedure and the various results that led to serendipitous success!
Disabled Comodo Firewall.
Disable Real Time Virus protection.
Installed just The Sims 3 & EADM.
Launcher crashes on running.
EADM (5.0.0.255) cannot find Internet Connection.
Installed Patch 1.9.
Launcher crashes on running.
EADM (5.0.0.255) cannot find Internet Connection.
Installed World Adventures.
Message that newer version of Base Game detected, advised to patch after install.
EADM (5.0.0.255) cannot find Internet Connection.
Launcher crashes on running. Cannot End Process in Task Manager.
Reboot PC.
Forgot to exit Comodo Firewall.
Forgot to Disable Real Time Virus protection.
EADM (5.0.0.255) connects to the Internet after allowing it in Comodo Firewall.
Disabled Comodo Firewall.
Disable Real Time Virus protection.
Installed Patch 2.4.
EADM (5.0.0.255) cannot find Internet Connection.
Enabled Comodo Firewall.
EADM (5.0.0.255) connects to the Internet after allowing it in Comodo Firewall.
Launcher Runs perfectly after allowing it in Comodo Firewall.
So if I exit from Comodo Firewall (IE the firewall is off) EADM and the launcher can't access the Internet, yet if I run/enable the firewall, they can (after I approve them/create rules in Comodo).
It doesn't make sense?!?!.
A last quick question, should I/is there any point in updating to EADM 5.1.0.4
Is Comodo Firewall that causes your EADM to not connect to Internet? I used Kaspersky and my EADM can connect to the internet again after patching

Here's a new one, at least in my experience -- I started a new game after the patch, and couldn't find anything different until I sent my Sim to China. All bookcases on all lots in China are completely empty -- the "Read" interaction is grayed out. Back in his house, or in the library at home, my Sim has all the books he could want.
I immediately suspected tight pants, and the only mod that I thought might have something to do with it is Anach's "make-all-buyable (including books)." But that doesn't make sense as Anach's stuff has always worked flawlessly before, and besides this is not a core mod by my memory. In any case, I removed that mod and the bookcases in China were still empty.
I haven't sent my Sim to Egypt or France yet, as I prefer to get him through China and up to visa level 3 as soon as possible.
*suddenly has a flash of possible insight*
I wonder whether the culprit is the free bookcase that came out with WA? It would follow the common EA pattern in which objects long since in existence suddenly break with a new EP, or even a patch. Think in terms of the mini-fridges ever since AL in TS2, all the complaints about broken pianos, etc. And just when I was going to download the other free stuff I'd heard about, it being, you know, free.
I will test this out tomorrow as it is getting much too late here.

Seriously? Unless the mod has been cleared for 1.9/2.4, it doesn't matter how well it worked before, it can bork your game. I would suspect the mod before an EAxis bookcase.

Anach's mods are cleared for 1.9/2.4 now -- but I did neglect to mention that little tidbit. My mistake.
Haven't had a chance to see what happens if I delete the free bookcase, though I'll admit (now at a more decent hour of the day) my theory of last night does sound a bit hard to believe. I'll post back if I find out anything. I figure it must be tight pants, since I never saw this before the patch, but no one else has reported it either.
