1. Open your Windows Task Manager (Control Alt Delete) and see if any
instances of Band-in-a-Box are running. If they are, force quite them by
clicking "end task"

2. Next, go into your c:\bb folder and delete the following two files:
Mysetup.dk and intrface.bbw.

3. Once that is done, find the bbw.exe file in the bb folder, right
click, and select "run as administrator". Then wait a few moments
without doing anything to see if the program launches.


Thanks for asking.

Well, those instructions are appropriate when you can't start BIAB. But your case is different. You overwrote the BBW.EXE file for BIAB 2017 with the one for BIAB 2018. So you are starting the wrong version of BIAB. I can't imagine how that could possibly work correctly. I think as a minimum you need to "put the old one back" in some way, and if that isn't possible, reinstall BIAB 2017. I fear many file locations were moved as well.

Perhaps a better option is to go ahead and purchase 2018 and install that. It will fix any problem.
