Tactus does not have a seperate launcher, but when you start the game you can call the Launcher by clicking CTRL+T
Also when you start the game you see a Tacitus message on the top left 
 

If CTRL+T does not work ingame it means the installation failled.
Also in Tacitus you are able to select a different game version in the tab chronoshift, most play on version 1.12
