Greetings, I'm having an issue upgrading launchbox premium to the beta version using the updater. It downloads within the client, starts installing, but I get this error. Restarting doesn't help either. upgrade issue Very pleased with launchbox so far :) Thanks, SATCHMO

I had this issue also I think I deleted the exe and then it installed. Edit: I actually just updated to the Beta and had this issue again. 1st I ran Launchbox and when the prompt came up to install the new version I opened file explorer and changed the name of the .exe then I clicked to update. The new .exe installed then I deleted the renamed file easy peasy.

I just did it (changed launchbox.exe to launchbox1111.exe) and continued the installation... I think everything is working now. Thanks :)

Also, make sure that LaunchBox closes from the background. Sometimes the error can change, but I would say most errors are from LB not fully shutting down or incorrect downloading on the programs side. Just open Task Manager to make sure LB closes when you update. I force close it every time. It goes faster. Task Manager can be opened with Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

Jason I've had this occur on a few different systems on numerous occasions. I have tried updating a few times in a row before with no luck then the one day I tried my method and it worked so I just go with my work around if problems arise.

Ran into an error while the images were being cleaned... but I submitted the error report in a ticket. After ending the process, I restarted and it told me the client was updated to the beta version. I cleaned the images through the client. Everything looks okay now, much appreciated guys. I'm not a big fan of steam big picture... but this is actually pretty nice
