Please help! I have used launchbox for years and have spent countless hours configuring every aspect of it. I lost power during an update and the exes are corrupted. Big box also. I tried installing a fresh copy and taking the new exes and replacing the old ones but it wont launch. How can I save this. Is there anything I can do?!

Launchbox/Update has all the installers. Just run the newest one over your existing Launchbox to fix the .exe's.

Edit: hold on, it didnt install where I thought it did. One sec.

Can I just safely move and replace it to the correct spot?

I did this and launchbox is empty. I installed it in the exact same spot. Did I just delete all of my stuff?

No, but you installed to the wrong location. You installed inside of the Launchbox folder and not over the top of it. If you look i expect you now have a Launchbox folder inside of your Launchbox folder. delete the new one without the data and install again, but a level higher.

Ok, doing this now

EDIT: This worked. Everything is fixed. Thank you for all of your help!
