You should use the last version of EF rather than this old patch. The last version is 3.1.0.0 and the version you installed is 2.4.0.0.

You can download the last version from here. Uninstall any previous version and make sure all the old files were wiped out.

file "EF.API.Shell. "

That was because you had an older version of EF and installed the new one without deleting the old one.

The only exe file that use that dll are the oldest ones.

When you reinstall EF, is the setup supposed to automatically create a desk top icon for the launcher?  Mine did not, I went in and found the file for the launcher.  Then it(icon) was created during 1 of the updates.  During previous installs the desktop icon came up during initial installation.  Everything works good, just wondering if this is a change or maybe a bug?

Perhaps it's related to user's permissions.
