C-Beats Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Typically I've seen that when a dependency is missing or corrupt. Make sure you run the installer again and then go to command prompt and open it as administrator and type "/sfc scannow" (without quotes) and press enter, and let that tool run. Will repair any OS dependencies that could be causing an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8cermak Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 @neil9000 Thanks, I ended up running that one after a quick search. Results pasted above that it found some corrupted files and successfully repaired them. Unfortunately, it didn't have any impact on the LaunchBox issue.

(0x3) Yeah thats not one of our logs. OK go to your Launchbox/Data folder and find the settings.xml file, open it in a text reader like notepad, find the line starting with something like debug logging, and change the false to true, save the file. Now start Launchbox and when it fails go to your Launchbox/Logs folder and post the created log here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Beats Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Not an error I've seen before. Looks like one of the dependencies that should have been added during the installer didn't get put in place correctly. I would make sure no antivirus is blocking the installer or LaunchBox from opening or isn't blocking any DLLs from being ran or opened.

n8cermak Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 I tried to install v11.9 from the Updates folder and received this error: Unable to execute file: C:\Users\Nate\LaunchBox\Core\LaunchBox.exe CreateProcess failed; code 740 The requested operation requires elevation.

FuriousCarl Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Maybe an antivirus is causing trouble? My Norton antivirus quarantines Launchbox files for some reason. Try reinstalling launchbox and disabling your antivirus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxillio Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I have this same problem. I have no antivirus, just the normal Defender. It works okay on my main PC (though this version of LB was installed as an update so the dependencies were probably already there), but when installing this version on my laptop (nothing there already) I get the same exact logged error. This needs more attention, it's a serious problem. Please. I solved it. I ended up repairing Visual C++ 2015 in the Apps section of Settings and it started working after a restart. @n8cermak If you still have the issue, try this.

How do I go about repairing Visual C++? Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features You should find it in there, it’ll be the one that says 2015 (or a range including 2015, which was the case for me). Click on it and there should be an option to uninstall or repair it. You’ll want to repair it. Edited July 12, 2021 by Noxillio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8cermak Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I ended up uninstalling the two 2015-2019 versions of Visual C++ and let LaunchBox install them for me as I was reinstalling LaunchBox. Everything works now again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
