breech Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I cancelled the requester to update to the latest, it said something about rolling back the changes and then closed the installer. Now LB doesn't start up properly and displays the error shown. I'm not sure if i can I run the standalone installer without losing my customisation, or will it start fresh? Thanks for any insights.

You should never stop any installer in the middle, as you will get files from the last version mixed with the new one. Just go to your Launchbox/Updates folder and run whichever installer you want directly over the top of your Launchbox install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breech Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'm pretty sure I cancelled the popup and it didn't actually start. Theres only a theme updated, the rest looks ok, maybe the registry was changed. I think i was on 12.7 and it was attempting to update to 12.11. I'll hold off in-case someone has had bad experiences updating or dev @Jason Carr wants some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero reason to sit there with a broken setup, when simply running the installer will fix your issue, but entirely your choice.

Jason Carr Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I can confirm that all you need to do is just re-run the installer over top. The installer does not make any registry changes, outside of installing DirectX, .NET, and C++ if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breech Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Updating over the top went well, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
