11.3-beta-8...and I'm Dead in the Water Again

[PiperCalls]

It just pushed out, install hung up stating it couldn't close out some applications. I selected cancel, it said it was rolling back. Now LB won't launch at all, if I try to launch it I get a spinning circle for a second and then nothing. Reboot doesn't help. If I try to launch BB I get an error msg about needing .NET core installed (which it already is). So...I redownloaded .NET Core 3.1 Desktop Runtime x64, tried to repair...nothing, uninstalled & reinstalled...BB still says it needs to be installed.

Help...Piper

You couldn't post this in the beta thread to discuss issues such as this ?

 

[Cineaste]

Needs a dramatic thread title I guess.. 

[PiperCalls]

If your talking about the 11.3-beta-1 Released thread, that didn't make sense to post there since this isn't a beta-1 issue. If all issues with any beta should go in that 1 thread then I can post there.

[Krakerman]

Anything related to 11.3 beta or any beta that comes out for that matter always goes in the thread for the version that says beta-1Released in this case 11.3-Beta 1 Released. Granted maybe when a new release/beta comes out the name of the thread/post probably should be named something like "11.4-Beta Releases" or something along those lines so not confusing for some where to post issues might be obvious for some but others maybe not. But hey it's Jason's thread so he can name it whatever he wants hahaha.

Hopefully that explains it to the masses. If you create a separate post then it will more than likely get lost in the shuffle and not seen so best to keep it in the same thread regardless of what beta it is that is having the issue and also Jason always will post the next beta in that thread.

Its the beta thread for all 11.3 releases, its just that it gets created when beta 1 comes out obviously, but its the thread for all 11.3 betas. When we move to 11.4 betas a new thread will be started with 11.4 Beta 1 in the title.

Ah ok gotcha...didn't realize that.

Would install 11.2 over your current installation. Run LaunchBox, let it detect the most recent beta version and let it download that, then run that install. Installer has the needed .NET Core installer built in it and as long as you don't cancel out the process while it runs should install what you need and get you back up and running.

Thx I'll try that. Do I need to copy out any xml's or images/videos or will it leave all that alone? 

Thx

Nah can leave that alone, installer doesn't delete/modify those folders

[Retro808]

As was already mentioned earlier and I know C-Beats responded in this thread, but please keep all beta related issues or progresses to the beta thread. This way he and Jason do not have to look in multiple threads for issues and feedback.

Installed 11.2 over the top. At first launch updated to 11.3-beta-8. Everything is working fine, issue resolved. I went ahead & turned beta off for now since my PC seems to be having issues with the beta updates.

Thank for the help!...Piper
