I just tried to open the game and got the first message in the Cryptic launcher auto update window. Then I had the pop-up window appear with the second message.
- Trying to update the launcher. Please be patient. Tried connecting 1 time.
- Patcher Error:
A file was locked that could not be opened for writing
1 MasterControlProgram[1] ESC : The patchclientlib is internally recording error code : 36\nA file was locked that could not be open for writing. - Could not delete previously renamed file (C:/Users/Public/Games/Cryptic Studios/Star Trek Online.exe.deleteme)

100122 20:40:05 3 MasterControlProgram[1]: Launcher PCL Error A file was locked that could not be open for writing.
I cant manually unlock or delete this file:
Star Trek Online.exe.deleteme
This is the cause of the problem im having i believe
I've had the same problem for a long time and i have just seemed to have fixed it. It seems that the Star_trek_online.exe file cannot be in your program files folder. The only thing i did was move the star_trek_online.exe file to a folder outside of program files and i started the launcher. It automaticly detects the file has been move and the launcher launches normally.

Can I update the launcher manually from someplace? Can I try anything else?? This has been the same now for 2 or 3 days

I've had the same issue and get no answer here or with a C.S. ticket.
I see the file you mentioned, but can't delete it or move it. it's definately not locked either.
Hope this allso works for you guys.
