SMM installed drive died, can't change location.
I removed the %AppData for satisfactory and SMM and reinstalled Satisfactory. Still the .exe remembers last install location and won't continue past the point of pictured error.
Any help? Thanks all.

Solution
This issue can also occur due to an old SMM install in a location that no longer exists. When this happens, any new SMM install attempts will attempt to update that install. To solve this, you will have to clear the SMM install registry keys. Just to be sure, check both the SMM2 and SMM3 registry keys, but note that some may already not exist.
