If previous Alpha players are receiving the error "unable to load application configuration" you need to uninstall the Alpha client before you download the Beta.

See on the battlefield this weekend!

I'm still getting the error as well. I uninstalled the previous Hawken (by the usual, same method you prescribe here in the forums) before even installing anyways, then I installed, and continue to still get the message and non-loading splash-screen-window or chance to get past the error window.

The uninstall of the alpha (and the beta more recently) were both surprisingly fast, although they /did/ wipe the program files folder, I'm definitely wondering about the registry values, although I don't know a utility off the top of my head to try and find that. Any suggestions_

Am getting this as well although this is my first time installing a beta client (did not participate in alpha before this hence never installed alpha client). Any admin could assist_

Any fix yet for the "Unable to load application configuration"_ I uninstalled the Alpha 2 client and still getting the error.
I even got it back when the Alpha was going on, so I didn't get to play.

Basically, this error means that the game didn't actually install the main 'meat' files. If you take a look at the folder where you installed Hawken  you'll notice that it's only around 30-40 MBs in size. I think that the installer isn't connecting to the download server for some reason, but turning off my firewall and setting Avast to silent didn't help resolve anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times now with no affect, and redownloading the client doesn't help either.

I experienced this error towards the end of Alpha 2 (after not having any problems and playing just fine), and it's the reason why I couldn't play in the dev event :/

It seems they don't give a f**k. I'm with the same problem, and it's worse, I don't even get an error message, the process just goes away...

I thought with the beta this would be resolved, but no, I've not yet played Hawken due to this, it's frustrating...

That is because this game does not support gameplay by BLIND PEOPLE WHO WON'T READ
