You have to run the actual Fallout London Launcher at least once, as the install only installs Fallout London files into Staging directory. You need to run the Fallout London shortcut to it's launcher. There you find another install/update button you need to click, that will move the staged files to the main Fallout Install directory.
After that you can launch via f4se_loader
Also if you apply a patch, it again only applies to the staging directory. You have to run the Fallout London Launcher and it's update/install button again to move the staged files.
IMO, this is the most common problem that people have with the installs and patches. Installing the mod, and patching the mod, only installs to a staging directory, you need to run the Fallout London Launcher and click the update button, to actually apply the staging directory to your main install.
