GVA Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Hello, after upgrading Launchbox to 13.15 whenever I'm starting the app I'm getting `Access to the path '...' is denied.` error and then LaunchBox shutdowns. I can make it launch once by removing 'Plugins' directory but then it gets recreated and on next try I'm getting the same error. Has someone seen anything like that? Can I maybe somehow force LaunchBox to not install those plugins? I have never installed any but I guess in 13.15 there are some by default. On the screenshots the error relates to 'MAME' directory but it happens randomly for any of the default plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Right click your plugins directory and make sure "Read-Only" is unchecked. We have had several people with this folder locked for some reason and I'm not yet entirely sure why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFuHolo Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Not sure if this helps identify the fault at all, but I was having a similar problem. @C-Beats upon your suggestion I headed on over to the folder to check out if was set to read only, but it's set as per the below and that appears to be pretty normal for a lot of the folders for Windows 11 for me. Unchecking it just get's reverted to back to the same. However, I realized I had starting using google drive to sync and back up my LaunchBox folder and the issue occurred after that. My solution was to delete the plugin folder completely, and then relaunch LaunchBox. LaunchBox recreated the plugin folder, then once in LaunchBox, it told me I needed to update the Dolphin plugin, restarted, and all seems good again. No idea if it's the same issue but wanted to through it out there in case it helps anyone in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio5 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago I'm experiencing this same issue. I'll uncheck "Read-only" and hit "Apply", but when I open properties, it's still checked. The only way I can get around this is to delete my Plugins folder every time I start LaunchBox. I'd be very grateful if someone knows how to fix this once and for all.

AstroBob Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago @radio5 sorry to hear you're still experiencing this, may I confirm what version of LaunchBox you are using? This should have been addressed as of 13.16. If you are already on the latest version on it's still happening let us know and we'll see if we can narrow this down.

radio5 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Hello @AstroBob. Thanks for asking. I'm currently running the lastest version 13.16, but it's been ongoing since 13.15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroBob Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago @radio5 thanks for confirming the version, though can I confirm are getting the same error as the original poster (i.e Access to the path LaunchBox/Plugins/MAME/denied)? Or is yours referring to a different plugin? Also, where is your LaunchBox directory hosted? Is it on a cloud storage location like Google Drive or Dropbox, or somewhere else?
