Error during import - Network install LB 12.4

[Scott McGuire]

I have this install running on a network drive. It appears to be telling me the location of launchbox is invalid when I initiate an import. At first I thought it was when importing files from my network drive alone but it doesn’t appear to make a difference. Downgrading to 12.3 seems to resolve this issue.

The specified path is invalid. : '\NetworkServer\NetworkFolder\LaunchBox\file:\D:\Public\roms\Wii'

What location did you point the importer to? Was it just “D:\Public\roms\Wii” or something else?

[Scott McGuire]

I was able to resolve by pointing to the directory using the network path instead of the mapped drive I was using which was d: . After doing that for whatever reason the issue has not replicated.

Using network path instead of mapped drive seems to have resolved the issue.
