Can't Connect To Database

[Starwind Amada]

Launchbox will no longer connect to the database. I get these messages.

 

Do I need to reinstall Launchbox? I haven't made any changes so I don't know why this is happening. Will reinstalling wipe all my libraries?

That should fix it.

No, it will not.  Just make sure when running the installer, you select the drive location above your LaunchBox folder.  e.g. C:\users\tiger\

Before clicking the final install button, verify the path so that it doesn't have dual /LaunchBox/ folders.  So you want to see C:\users\tiger\LaunchBox\. Not C:\users\tiger\LaunchBox\LaunchBox\

So delete it and reinstall it? You're positive it wont remove anything? Because you can see there are a LOT of consoles in my library.

No. Just reinstall over the top of the existing install.

Yes. If you do what I said.

Okay I'm gonna try it

Didn't work. During installing it told me that bunch of dll files could not be found. I could skip them, but it said that wasn't recommended and then would just give the same message about the next file anyway.

So even the installer is broken. And because I closed Launchbox to do this, guess what? It won't open again..... again.

Unbroken Software? More like Completely Broken Software!

This is total BS. I paid for a license for software that breaks whenever they make a useless update.

Can you screenshot that message?  'you could skip them, but not recommended'? Is it giving you another option that to "skip them"? What happens if you select that?

It skips the file, but then the next file also can't be found. They're all .dll files. And don't ask for screenshots for each one, as there are too many.

I actually went and deleted Launchbox completely and guess what? Still can't install those files. SO now anyone who tries to install this garbage won't be able to because the required files aren't available. What a bunch of BS. It was good for a while but then they screwed it up and I'm sure they'll just move on to the next version with the same problems
