Launcher system error: 7. HTTPS Error

Thanks for the advice TheFirstKel. I reset IE & Chrome settings as you suggested, however there was no change in the behavior of the error. I'm going to re-install today.

I've uninstalled the game and re-downloaded the launcher. There has been NO change. There is still an HTTPS server error.

I'm out of ideas and solutions now. SQUARE, where are you???

I had the exact same problem also, but i got it fixed.
It was caused by window not being up to date.
You must install all the Windows Updates (around 120-140 updates to install) and the newest Internet Explorer. (Yup everyone hates it but Windows still uses it and same with the Launcher)

Just a quick follow-up : I have all Windows Updates installed. I have only 2 "Optional" updates (BING DESKTOP & BING BAR), which I doubt would have any effect. Especially since I do not have them installed on my Windows 8 machine & laptop and they are both able to open the launcher.

It's just my windows 7 machine that is unable to play. Figures its my main pc >.>
