Anyone else having .net errors when attempting to launch Bigbox or LaunchBox? I get the .net error in the event viewer, followed by the application error. It worked yesterday, and last updates were installed on 11/12. Event Viewer logs have been attached. Launchbox version was 11.7. I did opt to install 11.8 at a later date. It is portable running off an external HD. No issues prior to today. My .net build is currently listed as 528372, which is 4.8 (source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/how-to-determine-which-versions-are-installed#detect-net-framework-45-and-later-versions) Tried the following so far: Restarting Disabling .net in Windows Features. Followed by restart, checking for updates, reenabling .net, and another restart. Can't find too much documentation on reinstalling .net, and I don't want to try to reinstall Launchbox at this point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Edit: new troubleshooting step I did download updated LB files from the site and extracted them to a temp location on the c: drive. LB does launch successfully. Also was able to successfully apply my license. I overwrote the .exe, and .dat files on the external drive (did not copy the folders), but unable to run directly from the external, as I am greeted with the same .net errors. Instead I created a new subfolder on the external drive, and am now able to successfully launch LB / BB from the ext. drive. I restored from a previous backup in the older folder, and copied my Emulator / rom folder into the new, working folder. And everything is back in working order. Not sure what happened. But now I am moving over things like images, and the like to the new folder structure. Not sure what went wrong with the original folder structure, but will continue to move files from the old directory to the new one. I'll update my progress, as I complete. Maybe a corrupt file? Not sure, but at least I'm somewhat up... limping, but not down. Last edit. Ok. Well. I guess redownloading resolved it. Again, just redownloaded, restored from a previous backup, and moved folders (images, themes, emulators, roms, etc) from the old location to the new one, and everything is back up and running. Not sure what happened. Game on! launchBoxErrors.evtx

Hello I am getting an error that net framework 4.7 is required to run/install the program. The problem is that the latest net framework doesn't work on windows 8 (this is 8 not 8.1), however on the main page of the Launchbox it shows that 8 is supported. I tried looking around for a solution but couldn't find anything. Is there process to getting this working besides having to update to 8.1 I would like to leave updating as a last resort as im super worried that settings/drivers will screw up when updating to 8.1 and would very much like to avoid having to redo my cab. Thanks in advanced for any help.

Does the .NET Framework 4.7 work in windows 7 ultimate? And if it works ... how long or how much should I expect wait
