I got the launchbox to work. I installed the newest version. Now everything is up and running except for running games. I can install games, configure games and start the game. DOSbox will run and I can see I get into the game, but there is never anything else than black screen (both window and fullscreen mode). It is clear here that X-COM has entered "GEOSCAPE". Has anyone seen this before?

Hi C-Beats, I am assuming, when you say re-install, that you mean re-install LaunchBox? If so, then I have actually not installed LaunchBox (I see my mistake in my first post). I am just using the one that was a part of the eXoDOS project. So it was already present, just not working. But I will try and install the 13.16 that I can download from here and try and get the eXoDOS to work with that version. Hopefully that will clear up any issue with any dll's. I have disabled all anti virus and firewall for now just in case. I will come back as soon as I have more information.

Ah, I think I know what you meant with the weird path now This is a screendump of the eXoDOS v6 directory after I ran the "Setup eXoDOS.bat" that the manual said I had to run. This path is definitely different from yours @sundogak I cannot find in the manual anything on me having to rearrange the directories, so I assume this is they way they want it?

Hi sundogak, So the weird path you are referring to I assume is the path that fails during execution of the LaunchBox.exe file? The event viewer entry is what it is, so I do not know what to think about that information. The Launchbox v13.8 I am running is the one that is part of the eXoDOS package, so I would assume that eXoDOS should work with that version. I have downloaded the v13.16 from here and will definitely try and install that and then try that out. The manual says that it should work, so no harm in trying. Thanks for the that, I will get back when I have more information

Hi Launchbox folk, I am first time user of eXoDOS and Launchbox, so please bear with me. I have a clean installed Win 10 Pro 22H2 x64, and have been on a journey to try and get the eXoDOS project to work. At the moment I am stuck at installing Launchbox that is part of eXoDOS v6, which seems to be v13.8. I found from the event viewer that it is due to the Launchbox.exe is not able to find a dll file. I tracked it down, so I know the file exists in this location. Application: LaunchBox.exe CoreCLR Version: 6.0.1623.17311 .NET Version: 6.0.16 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

No cigar... Second I assumed a .NET issue and had the windows fully updated. This did not fix the issue either. My skill-set seems to end here on troubleshooting this issue, and I am hoping a kind soul in here can point me in the right direction. Any help will be appreciated
