Where did Launchbox.exe go?

[KevinP]

Haven't opened Launchbox or Bigbox in awhile. Opened Launchbox then tried to open Bigbox but I received the message that I need to buy license. I did that last year so I copied the license key over into Launchbox folder. Tried opening again and was told update available. Tried to update and received this error: 

An error occured while trying to rename a file in the destination directory:

MoveFile failed; code 183

Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

So I aborted the update and went to restart Launchbox but the exe is missing. Do I need to just start over with everything? That would suck because I had several emulators set up with tweaks. Advice would be appreciated

No go into your update folder sort by date and run the last update over again

Hey that restored Launchbox and Bigbox- thanks! The games seem to be missing though...

[DOS76]

what is in your data folder?

[KevinP]

Platforms and Playlists folders and BigBoxSettings, Emulators, Platforms and Settings .xml(s)

[DOS76]

all your games should be in the platforms folder in the individual xmls how long has it been since you used LB? There used to be one xml file (Launchbox.xml found in the main folder) then it got split into individual ones

Been since October or so since I used it. There are several platform xmls in the Platforms folder.

hmm then it should be loading those when you open the program

 

[KevinP]

Well poop... It's OK to start over. I need to refresh my memory with this anyway. Thank you very much for your help!

 

[DOS76]

I would suggest renaming your folder LB old and downloading a fresh copy and then copy your data and image folder into the new copy and see if it changes anything before just starting over

[KevinP]

OK I'll try that- thanks!
