johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Hi just updated to 7.12 and now cannot run Launchbox see below please help i dont want to start from scratch Quote
neil9000 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 That doesn't look like a launchbox error to me, it looks more like a Windows permissions error, is your Launchbox on a network drive? as I see its got the drive letter Z. Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 ok just upgarded to windows 10 but worked yesterday now i cant run it at all Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 how do reinstall without losing the lot ? Quote
neil9000 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 As I said I don't think there is anything wrong with Launchbox itself, that is a windows permissions error Launchbox itself should be fine still. Is the drive on another PC? you may need to add new permissions as it may be blocking access since your windows upgrade. I am going to tag @DOS76 here as he is more knowledgeable than me with using Launchbox with network drives and such. Quote
DOS76 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) can you confirm you are using a network drive. The way that is labeled it looks like a local drive to me despite using Z: If it is a network drive you may need to go to advanced sharing in Windows and grant read and write permissions.

The way that is labeled it looks like a local drive to me despite using Z: Ah, cheers dos. Just assumed a network drive as it was Z, I did ask that in my initial reply but it wasn't answered. Quote
DOS76 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 yeah my network drive is listed as This PC\emulators (\\dos76server) (Z:) in the address bar of explorer that's what is making me thinking his isn't on a network Quote
neil9000 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 OK, if it's local then he shouldn't have any permission errors then, especially if it's still in the same location as it was before the Windows upgrade. Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Its an external drive like i say up to update was working fine Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 was working after upgrade Am i fucked ? 50 + hours sorting stuff have i to restart ? Quote

neil9000 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Do you have full read and write access to your external drive? Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 yes full access same error message Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 rebooted now .exe file for launchbox gone Quote
neil9000 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Do you have another PC you can plug your drive into and check it there? Quote
johnnyskullhead Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Had it on another drive and tried that exactly same so i dont think its the physical drive ?!! Have you updated ? was it fresh or via beta i never use betas is it likely to be that Quote
