Launchbox crash

[Jeff Le Roux]

Hi,

I just discovered this error upon the last upgrade.

Launchbox crashes when trying to edit some game details, downloading media or editing anything, or trying to add a game to my NES collection, i am trying to add Zelda for NES.

A Launchbox error popup says that i do not have any write access to my Launchbox folder, that I must run Launchbox from my “My Documents” folder instead, which I don't want to, I choose to run it off my L:\ drive for years, it has always worked until the last update to version 13.2 today,

I have tried to copy the whole Launchbox to a different temporary drive, deleted the old Launchbox and copied it back, even adding me as an administrator user with all user rights, nothing helps.

Log attached.

I’m receiving the same error. It seems to be related to RetroAchievements scanning. It might have something to do with the files being 7z compressed.

Do we know where 7z files are extracted to temporarily? If it’s a permission issue it should be possible to track down. Just need to know the folder.
