FF7 Converter not working

[KohryuZX]

I've been trying to reinstall 7th Heaven on my older computer, something that I had done already years past, but when I try to run the converter on a clean installation, the cmd prompt runs so fast I cant tell what its saying before it closes on its own.

I somehow managed to get a screenshot from the very brief instant before it closes.



For those who don't speak Italian, at the end it's saying "Impossible to find the system's Registry key or specified value"
Anyone know what the hell's going on?

Edit - The game is installed on "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII"

Have you played it plain vanilla yet, and if so, does it still work?  It seems as if your Steam installation didn't set any registry keys during installation, or something deleted them after the fact.

I did play it and it worked without an itch
Also by unzipping the converter like a zip file, I got this after I tried to use the FF7_GameConverter_7H.bat directly.

Have you got another drive, on your PC like D:\ or E:\ something like that. C:\ drive I found before caused me issues but installing it on another drive caused fewer problems.

[KohryuZX]

No, I have only the C drive.

Try pulling a fresh download of the conversion tool, as well as running the registry cleaning tool... I'm reading the batch file and don't see anything that would cause a crash at that point in the process unless the movie path evaluation is somehow failing, either because the batch file itself is corrupt (though I'd expect the whole converter to fail unpacking if that were the case), or there's some stale registry keys hanging around and getting in the way.

[KohryuZX]

Are we talking a regular registry cleaning tool or something FF7 specific? i just re uninstalled FF7 to do a clean install.

I'm mostly convinced its the fault of some shitty windows update the computer did between last time i used the converter on this computer and now.
No idea how to fix this issue though.

I used both the ff7 registry cleaner and CCleaner and it fixed the issue, thanks for the help.
