downloaded and installed all 3 latest deb packages in the order detailed on the 
installation wiki. Rebooted, launched admin, clicked on unlock and the admin 
window closes immediately.

can you start tpfan-admin from a terminal 
#tpfan-admin
and post the output after it crashes?

Actually the problem is obvious when you launch tpfan-admin from terminal. 
FPrint is installed and is prompting in terminal for a fingerprint swipe. 
FPrint authentication is not being handled when launching tpfan-admin from 
System Settings.

OK, I finally could reproduce your bug. The problem is that tpfan-admin doesn't 
use PolicyKit whereas FPrint assumes that all apps with GUI should use it.
https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fprint -> Issue 2

As for now I suggest that you use the workaround from FPrint's launchpad page, 
i.e. edit the "Thinkpad Fan Control" shortcut and replace 
"/usr/bin/tpfan-admin" by "gksu-polkit /usr/bin/tpfan-admin"
