The Win 64-bit GB installer gave me a prompt saying there was an error during instalation and provided a log. The log begins with:

"2023-11-22 15:28:29> Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --install . --checkInstall --source=PROPLUS --silent --exeName=Teams.exe

2023-11-22 15:28:29> RegistryService: TryGetRegKey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\ProductReleaseIds exists. Data - ProPlus2019Retail"

and goes on and on about apps like Teams not being installed, when they are. Regardless of how strange this is, it's stranger to find that upon running the installer, it absolutely nuked my GB Studio folder. Everything I had is gone.

Hmm, I think it might be related to this issue with Squirrel & Teams, unfortunately it’s not anything I’m able to control https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/issues/1853 I think you may need to use the No Installer version instead

Thanks, I can verify the portable version works fine. Unfortunately, all my work, reference shots and design documents are gone since I had everything inside the folder -_-

Oof, and you've got no backups? I'm really sorry to hear that, I wish there was something I could do.

I'd highly recommend getting a Github account and setting up version control for your projects.

It's fine, don't worry. I usually have backups but have been so neck-deep into work lately I didn't remember doing one before installing the new version (I'm a simple guy; I see GB Studio updates, I download and install). I'm not concerned in regards to project files, since most of what I had were placeholders to test movement routines and collisions. The issue is really the references since they were largely my own (bitmap mockups, etc) and while I can resume this at any time, it'll be double work for that. Oh well.

In any case, not trying to be a downer. GB Studio is amazing, please keep up the great work.
