I changed for some Platforms the game folder destinaton. 

from E:\Launchbox Games\

to C:\Launchbox\ Games\

How can i update the new path in bulk? I think to "copy and replace" the path in th *.xml file?  which file it would be, i did in the platform xml, but still error when i start a game.

Or is there another way to do?

Depends on the error you received.  If it was something like "can't from the ROM.."

You have (at least) 2 options:

  1. Open LaunchBox
    • Select the platform
    • Select all games in that platform (select one and then press Ctrl+A)
    • Go to  Tools < File Management < Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games...
    • Read and follow the Prompts
  2. With LaunchBox not running
    • Edit the platforms file you changed the game's ROMs location
      • e.g. E:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\Nintendo 64.xml
    • Do a bulk Find & Replace
      • Find: E:\LaunchBox\Games\
      • Replace with: C:\LaunchBox\Games\
