Alright so i just uninstalled steam, ran the FF7-registry cleaner followed by CCleaner and installed steam/FF7 again.
Screenshots will be in order so you can see what is happening.

This is the original path it had set:
SET "RegKey_Steam=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 39140"
And this is what i changed it to:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 39140
This is the default steam path registry location:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\39140"
Changing it to steam's original path or simply copying the keys into the original set location doesn't seem to be working so i had to copy the other steam location the program searches for so both steam locations within the .bat were exactly the same and adjust the registry to match it but that seems to have cause even more problems.
