Launchbox 5.10 install error

[Barry Carefoot]

Updated to 5.10, will not go into Launchbox now, just errors out. Tried using a backup .xml file but did not fix.

Here's error: System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() at System.Xml.XmlReader.MoveToContent() at System.Data.DataSet.ReadXml(XmlReader reader, Boolean denyResolving) at System.Data.DataSet.ReadXml(String fileName) at () at LaunchBox.Search.LocalDb.get_DataSet() at () at LaunchBox.Search.LocalDb.GetEmulators() at (DataManager , Boolean ) at LaunchBox.Data.DataManager.Load(Boolean settingsOnly) at LaunchBox.Data.DataManager..ctor(Boolean bare, Boolean settingsOnly) at (String[] ) at LaunchBox.Program.Main(String[] args)

Hi Barry, that error does mean that the XML file is corrupted. It is possible that the backup XML file you tried was corrupted as well. I would try a different backup file from your Backups folder; there should be good backups in there somewhere.

I tried 5 different .xml files still did not fix. I think i'm gonna take this opportunity to move Launchbox to another hdd. Since space is becoming a issue. Didn't realize how much room images and videos took up, lol. Thanks for your quick reply and your great product. I was so excited for this release as i was just getting into Mame.
