In order to reinstall SiteBuilder to your computer you will need to completely delete the previous installation and install a fresh copy of SiteBuilder. This is also called a clean install. There are a lot of steps involved, particularly if you want to back up your data files, so you will need to follow every step.
Getting started
Section A: Back up your SiteBuilder data files
If you are using:
You will see one or more folders named "XXXXXXXXXX", but with a number sequence instead of the letter "X". Copy the folders to a "backup" location on your computer hard drive, like C:\sitebackup.
Section B: Perform the clean installation of SiteBuilder
Uninstall SiteBuilder
Note: In Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8, Program Data is a hidden folder. For more information, go to Show Hidden Folders .
Reinstall SiteBuilder
Note: Make sure you are connected to the Internet throughout this process. During installation SiteBuilder files will need to be downloaded and unpacked to your computer, so it may take several minutes to complete the process. If you are installing the .NET version of SiteBuilder, you'll need to have .NET 2.0 installed. Use the following links according to your system requirements:
32 Bit Systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
64 Bit Systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b44a0000-acf8-4fa1-affb-40e78d788b00&displaylang=en
Section C: Restore your SiteBuilder Data files
SiteBuilder will normally run fine at this point. If it does not then there may be something on the computer interfering with the program, usually security/antivirus software. Just turning it off does not always prevent it from interfering so you will likely have to find the section in the software to add the SiteBuilde “exes” as program exceptions. Every program (security software) is different so you will need to look for a section to exclude programs from being blocked. If you can’t find it by clicking around in the program just you can Google it.
The exes that need to be added as program exceptions are all the ones in C:\Program Files (x86)\Homestead\SiteBuilder:
SiteBuilderLPX.exe
SiteBuilderLPXLauncher.exe
SiteBuilderLPXLauncherUpdated.exe
updater.exe
ForceUpdate.exe
Getting started
- If you have not published all of your latest changes or pages, make sure to complete sections A, B, and C.
- If you are sure that you have published all of your latest changes or pages, just complete section B.

If you are using:
- Windows XP go to C:\Program Files\Homestead\SiteBuilder\data\user\Sites.
- Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8 go to C:\ProgramData\Homestead\SiteBuilder\data\user\Sites. To learn how to find this folder, read Show hidden folders in Windows.
You will see one or more folders named "XXXXXXXXXX", but with a number sequence instead of the letter "X". Copy the folders to a "backup" location on your computer hard drive, like C:\sitebackup.
Section B: Perform the clean installation of SiteBuilder

- To confirm the deletion click OK.
- When the deletion is complete, go to your SiteBuilder directory and delete it.
- Windows XP users go to: C:\Program Files\Homestead\SiteBuilder.
- Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8 users go to: C:\ProgramData\Homestead.
- Remove all SiteBuilder Shortcuts:
- If you have a SiteBuilder icon on your desktop, drag it to the Recycle Bin.
- Click Start in the lower left corner of your computer desktop. If you see Sitebuilder in the start menu right click on the file name and click Remove from This List.
- Click Start in the lower left corner of your computer desktop and select All Programs. If you see Homestead >SiteBuilder in the All Programs list right click SiteBuilder and Click Delete.

- The SiteBuilder Install Wizard will launch. Click Next to Download and Install SiteBuilder.
- You will need to choose an install location for SiteBuilder. Click Next to begin install to the default location. Approximately 8 MBs of files will download to your computer during installation, so it may take several minutes on a dial-up connection. After the installation is completed, the following message appears: Click Finish to launch SiteBuilder.
- Click Finish and SiteBuilder will start.
- After SiteBuilder has started, enter your Login Name and Password, and click OK.
- Under Open Site, select a site from the dropdown menu, and click OK.
- Close SiteBuilder.

Section C: Restore your SiteBuilder Data files
- Go to the location where you backed up your site folders in Section A.
- Select the folders and copy them (CTRL+C).
- Navigate into the SiteBuilder folder on your hard drive.
- Windows XP users locate the following folder: C:\Program Files\Homestead\SiteBuilder\data\user\Sites.
- Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8 users locate the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Homestead\SiteBuilder\data\user\Sites.
- Paste the backup site folders into that location (CTRL+V).
- Now that your clean installation is complete, try starting SiteBuilder again.
SiteBuilder will normally run fine at this point. If it does not then there may be something on the computer interfering with the program, usually security/antivirus software.

There is something blocking the exe file from running. This is usually due to security software. The next thing to try is adding the following files as exceptions to your security software/virus scan.
The exes that need to be added as program exceptions are all the ones in C:\Program Files (x86)\Homestead\SiteBuilder:
SiteBuilderLPX.exe
SiteBuilderLPXLauncher.exe
SiteBuilderLPXLauncherUpdated.exe

Are you getting the same error? " SitebuilderLPX.exe. has stopped working"
If so a reinstall won't necessarily fix the problem. See my previous post above. This error means that there is something on your computer blocking the file from running and you'll have to allow it to run. This is usually a result of a setting in your security software. You'll need to add the list of .exe files shown above as exceptions to your security software.

The easiest way is to log in to Sitebuilder like you are going to edit. Since there are no files for the site on your computer, it will download the published site .

If you're ready to part with the Sitebuilder Desktop, you may remove the builder from your computer without any concern. If you have made changes recently and have not published, be sure to do that if that is necessary.

Thank you for the reply. It seems I need to use Sitebuilder Plus to update my site. If I could ask another question from you. I see that I can make the site mobile for free so it can be seen on phones also. If I did this would it conflict with my original site and also if I make changes and updates to my original site will they also change on the mobile version?

It could be a combination of settings on the computers OS, or the security software. We haven't made any changes to the desktop SiteBuilder for a couple of years. It's really not designed for the newer operating systems. You may want to look at this page also. The bottom of the instructions show you which files you may need to add as exceptions to your security software. https://community.homestead.com/homes...
If you repeat the clean install, and add those files as exceptions, and still can't get it to run, we can always convert your account to the web based version, SiteBuilder Plus.

You can try doing a re-install as shown here if you wish, but the best resolution would be to switch to the Plus (onlnine) version so that you don't have to worry about installation and OS related issues.

The main Flaw in Sitebuilder plus is inserting Title, discription and key words, also you can't bring up more than one page at a time and do a copy and paste from one page to another. has limited space on the desktop and it would be horrible to build a new website with. It simply doesn't have all the features that Desktop has for Designing a Website.

I definitely agree about the multiple pages. You can however insert the page name and description under page settings. Keywords were removed as search engines no longer use them. They get keywords from the content of your website now. Keywords were easily manipulated and so they no longer assist your ranking. They can, however harm you. If you place words that Google decides is not relevant, or considers you to be keyword stuffing, then you can actually lose rank.
If you use Plus and want to add keywords, see the Keyword topic

I'm glad you have done so well, but watch this video. Matt Cutts is Google's voice on what things matter and what things don't. This is from 2012. You likely have a great description and great content on your page, which is where keywords are drawn from. Matt says it very clearly here.
You are correct, keywords matter, but now keywords come from content, not the meta keywords.

Well I agree with your source on having keywords in the title tag and description. Those are important, but since Matt Cutts is actually a part of the search quality team at Google, if he says meta keyword tags are no longer relevant, I will side with that.
However, in no case do I advise changing if you are getting great results. Don't mess with success!

Sitebuilder Plus online has serious formatting issues. I don't like the fact it ads code and changes the formatting.

Jeffrey0893, The sitebuilder does not add code per se. However if you try to copy & paste code from other sources such as MS Word, it can carry some code over. In most cases, it loses/removes formatting, then you must use the formatting tools in SiteBuilder. If you are having some specific issues feel free to explain them in detail and we'll be happy to help you out.

It serves other purposes, and unfortunately there is not a way to completely take it out. However, if you are coding all of your pages yourself, then you may just want to import the actual html files directly into the file manager instead of posting your code into an html box on a SiteBuilder generated page. This would get you around any code that the Sitebuilder creates.

You should not have to no, but if an update to Sitebuilder doesn't succeed then usually you need to do it. If it fails to update regularly then maybe you have a firewall or anti-virus that is blocking it somehow.

How often does SiteBuilder need an update? I just recently updated, now it's saying that I need to update again to publish pages. It is saying that "There is a problem with updating," what should I do?

Usually about once a month. It normally updates without issue, but if it fails then you need to follow these instructions.

Try these instructions. Make sure you have Microsoft .NET 3.5 or later installed and Microsoft J#2.0.

You can try to do a complete reinstall as shown above if you wish, but my advice would be to use the online SiteBuilder Plus as the best long term solution and avoid all installation/desktop issues.
There's no cost to convert so just let us know if you would like us to make the change.
