installer rollback failed. Does LB support repair installing?

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.

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.

We dont use the registry, Launchbox is a completely portable app. There is nothing wrong with the updater, and the installer files in the Update folder are exactly what the updater runs when updating, its just automatic rather than you triggering it manually. There is zero reason to sit there with a broken setup, when simply running the installer will fix your issue, but entirely your choice.
