Yes, the reason the installer isn't working is because .NET 4.7 is included in Windows 10 (at least in the latest versions). Try updating Windows 10, as DOS suggests.

I see. Probably the best solution for now would be to add a new platform category just for your custom playlists, and then you could have everything all in one view instead of having to switch to Playlists. I see what you mean though; I'll add that to my list.

What does the folder structure of your ROMs look like?

They are hidden from some areas in LaunchBox, but if we hide them everywhere, then you can't access them anywhere. Where did you want to hide them from?

I am aware of this. I don't consider it a high priority, but it will probably end up on the next community poll.

I think that's a relic from an early beta. If you delete and re-generate that playlist, it should work properly.

Yeah, that is a known issue, and I do plan to add that in here soon.

@throwingmuse I think the issue is probably that the TextListView doesn't have access to the Platform property (only the parent games views do). You might be able to bind to the parent element's data context, though, from the TextListView. I'm honestly not sure if that's possible, but I know you can do it elsewhere (like in a grid), just not sure about doing it across the different controls. The other option would be to put the image actually in the parent games view, and just overlap or resize the list view. That's probably what I would recommend.

I think you should be able to remove the Name="Logo" part and add Source="{Binding Platform.ClearLogoImagePath}" instead.

Gotcha. Yeah, that error means that somehow the VLC files weren't updated properly. So far it sounds like we're good with the 9.5 release, so let's hope it stays that way. Thanks guys.

Sure, you would just need this: <Image Source="{Binding Platform.DeviceImagePath}" />

You can always look at the changelog in the app or here: https://www.launchbox-app.com/about/changelog

@jjb_22 I would love to see that error. The errors are reported to the server, but it would help to see the error here so I can tie it together. Thanks!

9.5 is out now with what should hopefully be a fix for the issue. If you're stuck in limbo, you can safely just download the latest version from the website and then install over top of your existing folder.

I am able to replicate this now (after experimenting with it for a while). It does look like it has to do with Dropbox/syncing services. Hoping to put out an update tonight.

You could always copy your Data and media folders out of your old folder and into the new one, so there's no need to start over either way. I still need to get this whole thing figured out though lol.

Alright, been sitting here wracking my brain; I'm running out of ideas lol. Do you have a LaunchBox\Metadata\Sync9413 file? Try deleting that.

Gotcha, thanks. At this point, I do believe that it's likely caused by syncing services. Which is stupid and funny on my part, because I only *just* decided to move my own personal LaunchBox folder outside of Dropbox, sigh.

With Google Drive closed, try deleting the LaunchBox\VLC folder. Then start it up and see if it works. I don't think reinstalling the update will do much of anything, though you can try. There should be a copy of the 9.4 setup in your LaunchBox\Updates folder.

Yes, I think that's what is most likely. Drive syncing services (even Dropbox I've seen) sometimes take a while when deleting files, so I'm thinking it's maybe putting a temporary lock on the files. You should be able to exit out of the Google Drive syncing service from the system tray icons.

@radio5 Good to know. By chance is it Google Drive that's causing the issue? What happens if you completely close out of Google Drive before attempting to upgrade?

Figured it out. For whatever reason, some of your XML files are marked as read-only. No idea how or why that would be the case, but that appears to be the problem. Make sure that all your XML files are not marked as read-only. That shouldn't ever happen automatically.

I take that back. Weirdly, after I close LaunchBox, I do get the error: I'll dive in to see what I can figure out.

Alright, I've tested your data and it's working fine, so it doesn't appear to be a data issue. Are you using LaunchBox inside of any kind of a syncing app like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive? Other than a permissions issue, I can think of two possibilities: either some sort of app conflict, or perhaps a file system/corruption issue. Or it could be a disk space issue even. So I would first check to make sure you have plenty of disk space, and then run chkdsk on the drive to make sure that nothing is awry. Then try closing all background apps to see if it makes any difference.
