I had what I think is the same problem.  I downloaded the installer for the launcher from the site and installed.  Upon trying to run the launcher I would sometimes get an all white window for just a second but usually I would get just nothing at all.  I checked the Task Manager and the process for the launcher was mysteriously dying shortly after I opened it.  I wasn't getting an error message or anything, just a lack of Hawken.  Running as Administrator didn't help, I ran virus scans, nada.  The thing that eventually seems to have worked is I killed Microsoft Security Essentials (I closed the process through the Task Manager).  Then I ran the launcher and it started up just fine after a sec.  Once it was downloading the game client I turned MSSE back on as a test and all went well.  Hopefully the same fix will work for you guys.

For reference, I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 on a Q6700 quad-core Intel processor and an ATI Radeon HD 5830.

try running as an administrator.

Open up your processes (ctrl shift escape) and try to find if the process to see if it is starting is starting.
