Can't launch Launchbox / Big Box (metadata broken?)

Issue #5694 new
Gieese created an issue

Now, giving me this, and can’t open Launchbox and also Bigbox.

Since it says my meta xml seems to be damaged, is there a way to restore things?

I have several backups while to use them I believe launchbox needs to atleast boot up….

    Usually we see this error when the GamesDB metadata file gets corrupted. Though I’ve not ever seen it crash LaunchBox on start up like that. You should be able to run the latest installer on the same directory and correct this issue without losing any of your data.
