So I wanted to start playing STO for the first time ever this morning, but it sure is not going well. I download the first several parts to the game/patch, but now I keep getting "Error 2: File not found" with it restarting every 10 seconds. The patch it is trying to download is ST.66.20161016a.17
What is the solution? Getting very frustrated at this point and am just about to give up.

I was hoping to play the game tonight, but that is seeming to be something of a pipe dream right now. I have over 15 gigs of several patches downloaded at this point, but now it just errors out immediately.
It's not very encouraging for a new player like me to discover that I can't play the game, is it?
I have the same issue, same message. I started download from their webpage but then decided to try
again with steam(didnt know it was at steam first) but it is the same.
This has to be an issue with their servers and not us. Pls fix it asap.
after that i got stuck in the launcher with the "error 2: file missing" problem.
forced check did not help.
i'm just trying with "only needed stuff patched" deactivated (don't know how that option sounds in english, in german its "bedarfsgesteuerter patch").
Seems that the patch servers are missing "LightFX.dll".

A few years ago, i had also had some issues geting it to work, although i do not know if it was the same error.
I have done a little research into it:
The LightFX.DLL is an alienware driver for keyboard lights. It is used by software to steer the lights of your alienware keyboard / laptop. Installing it on non-alienware systems makes no sense, resulting in standard windows systems not having it. Therefore, the patcher does not find it when requested.
Disabling alienware support by entering "-gfxAlienwareEnable 0" in the launcher options does also not help the patcher missing this file, and shutting down with an error.
It SEEMS, that some of the files have been compiled on an alienware system, this lighting feature has been included and the patcher seems to assume this file would need to exist on every device.
Seems the patcher also urgently needs a "non alienware system" option. ;o)
I guess there is nothing to do but submit a ticket and try later.
