Manually running HD-Adb.exe might have helped, I don't know. After about an hour of fiddling around with changing DirectX to OpenGL and back, changed the amount of cores and memory (I felt like I was playing Mastermind, checking and changing patterns), I was finally able to get BlueStacks open and running normally, with ADB. For a long time when I went into Preferences/Platform Settings, the ADB option was missing. After a while the COULD NOT START ENGINE message keeps reappearing. The blue Starting BlueStacks bar goes about 98% and just stops, leaving just a cursor width of black remaining to be filled. BLUESTACKS COM UTILITY wants to make changes to my device and immediately upon selecting YES, I get the COULD NOT START ENGINE message which I have to just X out of. I get the two popup messages during the opening of the program, three times each. Then I moved all the files in the restored folders, and made sure the restored folders were named properly, and overwrote any existing files. Into new folders I restored the backup from two days before the issues started. Now that you're all caught up and understand where I'm coming from, is there a way to fix a Corrupt Installation? Hopefully? Otherwise I'll be forced to uninstall 4 and lose everything from everything, with no backups for the games not saved on facebook. When I reinstall Bluestacks I get the same Corrupt Installation message. When I run bluestacks.exe I get the Corrupt Installation message. With other programs I reinstalled the program to the same location and it's as if nothing happened.

When I told OneDrive to stop backing up my Documents folder, all the contents of that folder were lost, including the saves.īlueStacks 4 is one of those programs that was missing. I backed up the four most important games in 4 (local saves only) and tried them in 5, which all worked flawlessly. My goal was to test 5, then migrate my fifty four apps in 4 into 5. The programs are still in my add/remove list but the icons are missing and the names are missing in the alphabetical list of programs.Īlso, before I realized anything was wrong, I uninstalled BlueStacks 5 because there isn't a way to delete a master instance (I had three) and I was going to reinstall 5 onto a different drive. Then I saw in my start menu about half of the programs were missing. Program shortcuts, text files, even a shortcut to my mp3 music playlist. I honestly haven't a clue why but when I returned to my desktop about an hour later I saw that about half the stuff was missing. A few hours ago I was working with my OneDrive and deleted a few *non essential* folders it was backing up.
