Vortex Uninstall Path does not match current executable

[Flaim42]

Had a HDD die on me, and after getting everything set back up on a new drive, Vortex now shows the error in the title.

 

The only options provided are:

"More" - "The uninstall key for Vortex is missing or corrupted."

"Check Again"

"Never show again"

 

Realizing it's a pretty big issue, as I cannot change that path in settings as far as I can tell, and Vortex has an update available.

 

If I could get some help without losing all my mods that would be great.

 

Vortex 1.4.9

Win10 x64

When you installed the new drive, did you give it the same drive letter as the old one?

If so, than that will fix your problem

*updated* deleted incorrect advice.

Don't know why people don't post the full error message, makes it impossible to properly help

The full error message you get is

 

Vortex uninstall path doesn't match current executable

The uninstall key for Vortex is missing or corrupted. This may lead to problems the next time Vortex gets updated. Please reinstall Vortex.

 

Why did you leave out exactly the part where it tells you exactly what to do to fix it?

And just to clarify: You do NOT need to remove the appdata directory or anything. You do not lose any mods. Just download Vortex and install it again, do nothing else.
