So if it says

"; This section closes Snes9x when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
}"

I want to leave the top section like this right?

"; This section closes Snes9x when pressing Escape"

Correct.

Had a similar problem when I tried to update to 11.4 yesterday (2020-08-30) through the menu. Got an error pop-up during install (sorry, I didn't make a screenshot) and after that LaunchBox.exe wouldn't launch at all. Fixed it for the time being by manually reinstalling 11.3.

First time in years I got an issue updating LaunchBox. I'm on Windows 7 (x64) with these MVC++ 2015 versions:

I've seen glitches with Microsoft's C++ update with one other person. I sent them this link:

I believe they were able to fix the issue by running this tool:

Sorry for reviving an old thread but just a note as I also came here searching for a solution and found this thread first.

 

Windows Defender may consider files within Launchbox to be a virus and quarantine them. This is what happened in my case.

I investigated and could not see why the file was being identified as a Trojan. I still have no idea why but because concerned that a ROM may have hidden the virus within LaunchBox (if that is even possible) so I rather re-installed LaunchBox.

See screenshot from Windows Defender below. Maybe someone knows what this file is for?

11.14 was reported as a false positive for a virus in one of our DLLs (bits of code used to make the program work). Upgrading to 11.15 should correct this.

I don't know that much about Window's Defender as I have never had that problem with it, but I know Norton usually has a way for someone to tell it that a program is safe and to leave it alone. Sometimes anti-virus software gets a little trigger happy with non-commercial software, you may just need to have to tell it that LB is okay.
