Big box launch error. windows 10.

[Andy]

Hi First time I've tried to launch the Big Box side of the app since upgrading and i get the following error. Any help would be appreciated. Windows 10 is up to date, run as admin is on.

Version 7.5

Hi Andy, thanks for this report. I just put out a new beta release that I'm hoping resolves a few issues; can you test it and let me know if you're still getting this?

[Andy]

Hi Jason, thanks for getting back to me. My AV software screwed up the beta update and made launchbox unlaunchable. I've reinstalled Launchbox and applied the beta update now. All is working, but when i click the Big box mode it wants me to add games before it will open. What files/folders do i need to take from the original installation to get all my settings back? Then I'll be able to test Bigbox.

Don't worry, I figured it out. All seems to be working now. Thank you!!

Great to hear, Andy. Thank you. It's just the Data folder (as well as your media) that you need to move over. :)
