Commander Won't Start or Update


 

开云体育

Hello Folks!

?

I started DXLab today and got a pop-up error message that Commander could not start because the program didn’t exist or couldn’t be found.

?

In the Launcher config window it shows a blank space under “Installed” and a new version 14.5.5 under the “Avail” heading.

?

When I click the upgrade button I get this error message: “Can’t replace C:\DXLab\Commander\CI-V Commander.exe because it’s either in use or write protected. Commander has not been upgraded”

?

The Commander folder does exist, and I can see all the previous versions from prior updates in there. And, the CI-V Commander.exe file is not write protected.

?

The Program Path showing in the Launcher config is correct: C:\DXLab\Commander\CI-V Commander.exe

?

The only ways I have found to work around this, and start Commander, is by appending the four numbers from the last version I had installed, in this case 1440, onto the filename in the Program Path field.

?

C:\DXLab\Commander\CI-V Commander1440.exe

?

Doing this I can use Commander no problem, but I still get the same “Can’t replace” error shown above if I attempt to upgrade again.

?

I’ve also tried copying and renaming the original CI-V Commander1440.exe to CI-V Commander.exe and it runs OK, but it still cannot be upgraded. The upgrade fails and the newly renamed CI-V Commander.exe gets deleted.

?

That being said, do I need to reinstall DXLab?

?

If so, will all the settings be lost? Or is there a way to back up all the Settings before reinstalling?

?
