ckp Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I see there is a new released version of LB today. Is there a way to know what's new and fixed in it before I upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I waited some time to see if launchbox.exe would close on its own and it eventually did. Then I clicked OK to continue. Then I got a UAC prompt asking me to allow dxsetup.exe to make changes, I allowed it, and the install finished fine. Looking forward to trying this version!

ckp Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Maybe that fix requires 6.9 to be running and we won't see that popup on the NEXT release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I had to go through the whole setup process in Windows to get it working where you had to read a whole pile of text back to the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
