BigBox Error Can't Start Program ver 11.6

[imsoinzane]

Hello Everyone,

I just got my arcade up and running and everything has been running great. I updated to 11.6 the other day and have opened BigBox quite a few times since then and everything was still good up until today. Now, every time that I try to open BigBox, it throws this error. When I press close and try to reopen BigBox, it says that the program is still running so I kill it in task manager and the same problem happens. I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot? Is this a known issue?

 

Thanks

We dont offer support for downloaded builds of Launchbox, but thats clearly a VLC issue. With Launchbox closed delete the Launchbox/Third Party/VLC folder and restart Launchbox.

Ahh ok I understand. I tried to delete the VLC folder but when I reopen LaunchBox and go back to the files and check, that folder does not replenish itself with new files and continues with the same error.
 

Is there a way where I can instead install a fresh stock LaunchBox installation while keeping my mappings of roms and emulators and which emulator and core is set to open for each platform as well as playlists to transfer it to a stock build and receive support?

Strange, Launchbox should recreate that folder when you launch it as its a required folder/files, ill mention this to the devs to check. If you go to the Launchbox/Updates folder you can manually install the latest version again from there, you wont lose anything it just replaces the actual Launchbox files/folders, it doesnt touch any of your data/images/videos etc.

I have just tested this and i see the same behaviour.

I have reported it to the devs. Thanks for the report.

UPDATE: 

Deleting the VLC folder in the ThirdParty folder, running the 11.6 installer found in the Updates folder and installing to my current  LaunchBox install folder solved my issue! Thank you for the help @neil9000!
