Launcher 1.11 will not work

After updating to 1.11, my Project M will not launch. When trying to go to the 1.11 launcher from the Brawl Stage Builder, it says there's an issue with boot.elf and hangs. If I go back to the launcher that comes packaged with PM 3.5 it still works, but any time I update this happens.

A gorillion times. I can update to 1.11 every time, and it will work. The launcher works fine, I can see the addons, I can start Project M. I can even restart my console, unplug and replug my SD card, and work my way from the Wii menu to the launcher and have the launcher work fine. However, every time AFTER I have installed 1.11 and then take my SD card to my computer, files on the SD card are messed up. For example, boot.elf is 0kb, menu_music.brstm is 0kb, and a couple other files are the wrong size. After this, it stops working on my Wii. It gives Error -2, says SD Card not detected and boot.elf not valid.

This ONLY happens with 1.11. I can go back to the old launcher all day and have it work without issue. It's driving me absolutely insane.

Honestly, if the new launcher won't work, but the old one will, then the best solution is to just stick to the old one. Homebrew software like this isn't guaranteed to work on every Wii - there are people posting here nearly every day who can't get any Project M-made launcher to work, and instead need to use Gecko OS, which has a higher success rate (but still not 100%).

It should not be necessary to update it, though...

Edit: oh hang on the hackless version come with the wrong version of the launcher yeah but you can get the new version of launcher from the homebrew version...

Need the new launcher for the addons feature. :\

Can anyone upload their PM build WITH the updated launcher? I'm almost positive the issue is the installation rather than the launcher, but there is currently no way to properly manually install the files. In fact I'm pretty sure just the boot.elf from the new launcher would be enough to get this working.
