Arcade1993 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 This is a new one for me. I was on Launchbox 7.x (lifetime purchase version) and changed the checkbox to allow for beta releases to get in on 8.0. It downloaded and installed, but right after the install, some sort of UAC prompt popped up and I cancelled it by accident. It was so fast that I didn't even see what the prompt was. I kept exiting launchbox and restarting it trying to get it to pop up again but it wouldn't, so it must have been something related to the install. Does anybody know what that could have possibly been? Launchbox 8.0 seems to be working fine but obviously something wasn't installed that should have been and I am trying to figure out what I am missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It was probably VC redistribution packages or Direct X related stuff. If you go to your Launchbox/Updates folder you will find the installers, just install directly over the top of your current install and this time allow the install. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Also 8.1 is the current official version, or 8.2 beta 2, if you are updating to betas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah cancelling that UAC won't impact anything in my experience. I've left in the middle of the install and when I've came back it had timed out without me accepting it and LB still restarted with no issues so it shouldn't be an issue. It updates Direct X stuff on ever update but if nothing has changed its a non issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bit silly if it didn't install all the files it needs to run when updating itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
