"Skyrim SE.exe not found" Error

[petergryphon93]

Hi everyone, I have an issue.. So, I noticed my drive was getting too full with mods and I needed more space so I switched over all my mods and Skyrim itself to a new drive.. I got all my mods set up in the new drive, corrected dependencies etc. but this error keeps popping up when I click on SKSE to launch through vortex. I've check the folder itself and Skyrim SE.exe is clearly in my game folder along with SKSE64... Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I've tried to google it but all I find is a bunch of jibberish that I don't understand lol. Hopefully it's an easy fix. Thanks in advance!

This was about the same time I started getting "Couldn't find Starfield.exe" messages.

Update- Fixed:

 

For anyone else who likes to backup their files. Make sure you don't copy a "copy" of your Data/mods folder to the game folder itself. Keep your "/data/mods" folder separate from the folder containing "SkyrimSE.exe" file and let Vortex do the manual work of installing folders and such. Again, don't manually copy and paste a folder to the NEW drive the game is installed on from a previous drive if you copy a backup folder of steam files and games to paste to the NEW drive. *Hopefully that makes sense*

 

A lot of trial and error with this (new to me) issue, thankfully I didn't lose anything. Hopefully the next person who reads this error post, *should they run into the same issue*, can happily go back to playing Skyrim.
