Version 7.8 Beta 7 killed my Launchbox

[mrloki76]

Hi all,

I recently turned on my cab after a few months and fired up LB - it updated to version 7 fine, then i accepted the update to latest BETA version (7.8 -7) and installation failed. Now when i try to open LB it fails (LB and BB) with the below error log:

I'm not to bothered about running the Beta version (although if it is a simple fix, let me know and i'll go down that route), but wanted to know if i download V7 full release, which files do i need to replace in my LB folder to ensure i don't lose my settings/configs/library? Sorry if this is a noob question - been out of the loop for a while!

I would just try to download the LB installer and install it to the same install folder. You shouldn't lose any of your settings, but hopefully it will add the missing files.

Thanks - installed over the top and all seems to be well again!
