Airpuncher Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hi. I'm having the ol' corrupt XML file issue again but this time it's referencing XMLs that there aren't backups to restore from. Neither Big Box nor LaunchBox will launch without them. Is my next step to wipe LaunchBox and start from scratch or is there a way of getting into the program without first restoring those XMLs? Thanks! PS. I notice that the error messages show the XMLs as belonging in the Data folder instead of the Data\Platforms folder in which they actually are. I could see this throwing off first-time troubleshooters having this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I would suggest removing the entire contents of your \Launchbox\Data folder. Do not delete to move it some where safe. Then copy all the contents from one of your backup zips and see if LB/BB opens. You say you are having the corrupt xml issue again I would take a look at what you are doing that might keep causing these corruptions. Also try to figure out why your LB is looking at the wrong folder for platform specific xml files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airpuncher Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Thanks, Retro808. I had no idea those ZIPs were there. I think the corruption happened when my daughter turned off the computer without properly shutting it down first. I think that must have been the reason the last time too. I appreciate the prompt reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
