Just Charlie Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on my HTPC and I have installed the latest version of Launchbox and put my license file in the same folder. Unlike on my previous install, Launchbox is installed to the D: partition which is just for emulation, if that makes a difference. When I try to open Launchbox, the mouse cursor looks like it's thinking for 2-3 seconds and then goes back to normal, and nothing opens. I noticed this after I reboot - Launchbox opens after it's installed. So I can reinstall Launchbox in the same location, but when I reboot, it will not work again. Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 My first guess is that you are probably missing one of the dependency libraries. A little while back @ETAPRIME did a video and he has a Mega link to download the necessary dependencies. Here is the link. https://mega.nz/#!Q8UVXLRT!LVjgSIkpu826al7QhV32JtOg_jBUTE726RYXX_hqi7U Being installed to D:\ drive doesn't matter at all, I have mine installed on H:\ drive.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that and it still does the same thing. DirectX installed but the .NET framework was already up to date Anything else I can try? Right now I am down to installing Launchbox every time I reboot my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Visual C++ runtimes maybe ? But usually when those are missing it gives you an error message mentioning it by name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Charlie Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I Googled that and came up with this, but these downloads appear to actually be for the Visual C++ software, which I do not have installed. I will continue to try to look for things to fix this... thank you for the suggestions @lordmunkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If I remember correctly you need the 2015 runtime library, but I won't swear 100% that is correct. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Are you trying to launch Launchbox from a shortcut? Does it launch ok if you just browse file explorer to where you have your launchbox.exe and double click it? If not, try right clicking Launchbox.exe and selecting Properties and see if there is an Unblock button in that properties window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UgaTEC Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have the same issue, i'm trying to do a video review of Launchbox (Thanks Kirsten for the Key) but i can't make it work. The library are installed, the emulators works offside of launchbox but it doesn't work :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If Launchbox itself isn't loading outside of required library dependencies I really don't know what to tell you. But if you do have Launchbox at least loading and your games imported but not launching any games then I can probably help out but I will need more details like emulator being used and some screenshots of your emulator settings windows in Launchbox.

It may have some clue. Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer. Expand Windows Logs and click Application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Also, is it possible that either of your anti virus type software is blocking Launchbox from running? Maybe try disabling them and try it as a test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is almost nothing installed except for Steam and Launchbox. 14 hours ago, ckp said: Are you trying to launch Launchbox from a shortcut?

For me Launchbox neither launches through a shortcut nor through browsing to the actual exe file. I right clicked Launchbox.exe and there is no Unlock option. 8 hours ago, ckp said: What does the Windows Application Event log show when you try to launch it? It may have some clue.

Lordmonkus Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Tagging @Jason Carr for this one. When I start seeing Fault Application messages that's usually a more serious issue and not one I can help with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 http://www.errorlive.com/exception-code-0xc0000005 Apparently a common problem, number one reason is virus/malware infection but there's other possibilities as well.

Hope it helps. Thanks for sharing this! I went through the page and followed the instructions: I only have Windows Defender installed for anti-virus, it is up to date and does not detect anything wrong Drivers on the computer are up to date (it is an Alienware Alpha with 16gb of RAM, i3 processor and 860M GPU) I completed the Windows file integrity scan, it did not find any "integrity violations" I tried disabling Data Execution Protection as the page suggested but it wouldn't let me do this for Launchbox (it said Launchbox requires this) I am pretty much at the point where I am willing to reinstall Windows to fix this, after trying so many things unsuccessfully.

ckp Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well, this is a major bummer guys. It's definitely not the norm as most systems have no issues running LB. Just as a test, maybe try installing LB to a different drive, like C.. Don't just copy your existing files, but use the LB installer, and download the installer file first just to be sure everything is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
