Guy Kidron Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 After updating LB to 9.9, both LB and BB will not start. When I try to open LB, I see the initialization screen for a few seconds, and after that it disappears and nothing happens. I am running windows 10 pro. Tried to uninstall and reinstall 9.9 again and I get a strange message: Unable to execute file: H:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe CreateProcess failed; code 740. The requested operation requires elevation. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Are you running Launchbox as administrator? That message clearly says that it needs elevation, so Windows itself is blocking the launch, we never advise running Launchbox as a admin, if that is in fact what you are doing.

Guy Kidron Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 10x neil9000, yes I am running as admin. Following your remark I changes the security settings of the 9.9 installer and was able to install successfully. However, LB still only pops the splash for a second in the initialization stage and than dismisses the splash window. When running the event viewer get some errors related to LB Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When running the event viewer get some errors related to LB Any ideas I think that error is either .NET or directx, make sure you have those up to date, both 32 and 64bit versions. Launchbox needs .NET 4.7 or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kidron Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Tried to install both DirectX and .NET latest versions but nothing helps. I still get the same error; System.TypeLoadException at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Desktop.App..ctor() , DynamicClass.(System.String[]) and Unbroken.LaunchBox.Desktop.Program.Main(System.String[]) I am thinking now to try to uninstall LB ver 9.9 and try with LB 9.8. Can you give me a link to previous versions of LB. I think there could be a reference in 9.9 that is broken... 10x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont have links to old installers i'm afraid, as it is always recommended to be on the latest version. I can assure you though that 9.9 works just fine, so this is something that is isolated to your PC. Have you tried downloading the installer again? Maybe the download was corrupted, what is the size of the installer file you have? Also are you using any third party antivirus software that could be blocking the install or deleting files when you run the installer? Ill pass this thread onto Jason to see if he has any ideas as to your error and what could be causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kidron Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Thank you the prompt reply. I totally understand, I also think its an isolated issue. I did try to reinstall LB a few times. Uninstalling, rebooting and installing again on H: drive. The installation file size is: 218 MB (228,721,746 bytes) (On disk its 218 MB (228,724,736 bytes)) I will try to uninstall again and this time install LB on a different volume.. I am using McAfee but I disabled file protection and the firewall, so maybe this is not the reason. Will let you know if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kidron Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 OK, So I installed LB on the default path on C: drive and it works just fine. It has to be something to do with permissions or security as you stated in the beginning. I will have to dig into this and post the solution for others to read if they have the same problem.

Ok good to know, yeah so it sounds like possible permissions issue, is this a USB drive or a internal? It could be that if it was a USB previously used on a different PC that the other PC has claimed ownership of the drive, which will allow it to be read on other PC's but not writeable.

Jason Carr Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm not positive, but it does sound like a group policy permissions issue. Often times, businesses will put custom group policy permissions on their machines. Is it a business computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kidron Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Got it working finally. What I ended up doing after installs and uninstalls and setting permissions back and forth was the obvious thing I should have done in the first place. The good old turn it off and on again... uninstall LB rename the folder to H:/LaunchBox_old install LB again at H:/LaunchBox copy required files to H:/LaunchBox Now everything works Thank you guys for your support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
