Reinstalling launchbox over an existing installation (Windows 10 to Windows 11 migration)

Hi,

I had an old Launchbox version (v 1.0.0.0) running perfectly well on a Windows 10 PC.

After purchasing a new Windows 11 machine, I have copied my original Launchbox installation folder to the same location on the new PC (C:\LBOX). Unfortunately, this old Launchbox version doesn't run on W11.

 

Can I now install the latest Launchbox version in the same folder ?

Doing so, will I keep all my games and configuration ?

 

Thanks for any help here.

Yeah, your probably missing a dependency. Use the install over the current build and it should correct. Make sure when doing so you point to the actual LB folder and not \LaunchBox\LaunchBox as the installer will do if you select the current folder using the browse tool.

Thanx for your help ! Finally, I have installed .NET Desktop Runtime 3.1.32 : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1 on my new PC.

This specific .NET version is required by Launchbox 11.7 (my version) and installing the latest .NET version (v8) does not work.

I have 2000 games in LB and it's blazing fast so I've decided to keep my old version because "I don't fix what's not broken".
