Hi C-Beats, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I just use built-in Windows defender. I ended up doing another Windows 11 reinstall since I was getting fed up with whatever was going on and I was able to install 13.8 without any issues. The only problem I have is when I imported my library all of my thumbnails are missing. I don't think I'm the only one dealing with that, but at least I can work around it. Thanks for your help.

I tried reinstalling 13.8 with the same results but placed the Event Logs bellow. Hopefully it can shed some light on what's going on. .NET Runtime Application Error

Hi C-Beats, Here are the errors that I found. I made each into spoilers so it's not flooding the page. Hope it works. Thanks

Right. I checked my root LaunchBox folder and this is all I have. I'm not sure what's wrong with my system since every other program I've installed hasn't had any issues.

I tried \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml in my browser and an error came up saying the file may have been moved, edited, or deleted. Are you referring to C:\Users\*UserName*\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml? If so, I don't have a Data folder and no Settings.xml exists. It probably is an incomplete install.

Hi there, I've been using Launchbox for almost 10 years now and this is the first time I've run into an issue. I just ran a fresh install of windows 11, went to install 13.7 and noticed that when it came to installing Direct X, nothing came up, the installer just went away. The files were installed for Launchbox but when I go to open the exe I get the usual Initializing window with the progress bar, but the progress only goes to 2% or something, then disappears and nothing loads up. I've uninstalled, removed the entries in the registry with CCleaner, downloaded 13.8 and installed with the same results. I even went to a previous windows restore point and run into the same issues. This image shows all I get when starting Launchbox. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was able to get it up and working. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks so much for your helpfulness. I'll give this a try since you've been thorough with explaining everything. Launchbox looks like a wonderful front end. Cheers, Eric

My apologies, I will elaborate here. When I go into Launchbox/Tools/ it appears that I should add an emulator, such as Windows Frontz, but when adding an emulator I haven't found what info should be put in for Associated Platforms. I assume that it would be something related to Z-machine, Frotz or Gargoyle. I get that you can add whatever you want, but I don't quite understand how. To go even further, I have a file named leather_goddesses_of_phobos.z5 Unless I tell Launchbox what program to use, it wouldn't know what to do. So my .z5 file has to be associated to some application. How does this work? If there is a specific thread in the forums you could point that helps explain this, I'd love to know.

Hi everyone, I am a noob to Launchbox, though I've used other front ends before. I am having the hardest time finding any info pertaining to importing Interactive Fiction. I use Frotz most of the time, but will consider another program if it will help get my collection of Infocom IF titles into Launchbox. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks
