I'm wondering if anyone may have some insight for me with an issue I'm having when updating versions. I have Launchbox installed on an external hard drive. I have all of my associated files/games there as well. I decided to plug the hard drive into a second laptop that I take on trips and such. I had to install the Net 9 file on that machine and after that everything worked fine. I later tried to play the games on the original Laptop and Launchbox would not launch. After trying a bunch of things I decided to reinstall the Launchbox software Version 13.19. When installing I got multiple error messages about the directory being corrupt and several dll files would not install. The option to "Try Again" had the same results. So I simply skipped these files. I wish I had thought to do a screen shot but I did not. After skipping these dll files Launchbox installed and seems to work just fine. So, I figured okay no worries. Today I updated to Version 13.20 and the same thing happened with the dll files. Again, I skipped them all, and the software seems to be working just fine. 

So the question is... Is there a way to fix these corrupt files? Does it matter? Or should I just skip them each time up update to the latest version. I guess my worry is that somewhere along the line, there is going to be an issue resulting from these files being skipped. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for the report here.

Ideally, If this happens again, could you grab a copy of the exact error message that is being shown? There are a few known issues .dll files, so it would be good to know which one is specifically affecting you so we can advise on the best workaround. 

Cheers,
