Attempting to launch BigBox

[Daniel Neiderhiser]

When I running Windows 10 x64 build 19042.985 version 20H2 and I attempted to launch R:\LaunchBox\BigBox.exe I was thrown an error and I’m not sure what I need to do to fix this. I have tried upgrading to the latest version of LaunchBox 11.11 but it hasn’t appeared to make a difference. I get this same error if I also attempt to launch R:\LaunchBox\LaunchBox.exe. This happens every time I double click either of these programs from Windows Explorer.

This error is being thrown by a plugin, you will need to remove the plugin and reach out to the plugin developer with this to see if they can correct.

You are freakin' Awesome!!! I didn’t even remember you could add plugin’s for LaunchBox. I deleted the contents from R:\Launchbox\Plugins\ and attempted to launch LaunchBox and BigBox again and both are working now as expected!
