PinballXDatabase Manager Reset??

[lees1964]

I'm not sure what I did, but my pinballxdatabase manager comes up with the two default tables (Road Kings and something else, but NONE of my tables.  My tables are all working correctly in VPX and in PBX, but somehow the databasemanger isn't seeing them now.  I will copy a few files over and see if that points to what I did - hopefully I can change it back.  Thanks guys :/

DBManagerLog.txt log.txt PinballX.ini

For some reason Database manager is pointing to database files in C:\Temp (e.g. XML file [C:\Temp\PinballX\Databases\Visual Pinball\Visual Pinball.xml]) and also has errors like Table directory [h:\-PINBALL-\- VISUAL PINBALL -\Tables] does not exist

Did you install a test version of PinballX in C:\Temp? - If so reinstall to the correct (actual pinballx install folder), the install path used by database manager is read from the registry set during a pinballx install.

Did you update pinballx by installing it to c:temp and copy the files to another location ? 

Or do you have both pinballx(.net core and pinballx vista/xp version) on your pc ? If so, switch in the settings to the other version to get the other databases

I downloaded the newest PinballX but wasn't sure if I should install it overtop of the existing pinballX folder (I didn't want to lose any games or settings), so Installed it into a temp drive.  I was unaware that it was using ANYTHING from that install until I tried databasemanager.  PinballX works fine, but databasemanager apparently sees the Temp/installation folder instead of the previous.  I tried to delete the temp folder but am getting caught in a circle of "you need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder" (which I can't seem to find a way to do).

I'm stuck between whether I should REinstall the PinballX or REinstall the DatabaseManager.

Reinstall PinballX, over the top of your actual pinball install (it will update PinballX but will keep your games & settings)

THAT WORKED!!!!  Thank you Scutters!!!  (and Mike, of course!).  I have to say, I have posted various things on "other" vp forums and no one EVER even answers, but here, you guys ALWAYS answer and ALWAYS know what to do to help.  I'd have a big, four legged paperweight in my office if it wasn't for you guys!  THANK YOU!!!

Databasemanager doesn't require an installation. It only need files to work.

But good that you reinstalled pbx on top!

This is because @scutters, @Draco1962, @Tom Speirs, myself and the rest of the GameEx forum user/admins  are just friendly people and willing to help. At work people always called me the 'grumpy old guy' but thats because they dont listen if I help them
