Failed to find game disc ...

Hey,

I've been using 7th Heaven v2.0.3406 Mod Manager for a few weeks now (great application by the way). I'm running windows 10 and own the game on Steam. Sadly, I recently ran into the below error message.

I've never had to do additional mounting. 7th Heaven has always mounted the game for me. I'll take all the help I can get here. Thanks

Necroing this post because I have the exact same issue, except that I was using an older version (it was 2.0.something) just fine until I upgraded to v3.4.0.0 yesterday. Never had an issue with mounting before. Have double checked my settings and am correctly pointing to the FF7.exe in my Steam folder, which contains a FF7DISC1.ISO file, as well as the 7th Heaven\Resources folder.

Can anyone please help with this? 

This is my exact log on 3.4.0.0:

*UPDATE* SOO I went to the discord for assistance and almost immediately got a response that resolved my problem:

Settings -> Game Launcher -> Pick wincdemu instead of powershell

Thanks a lot TrueOdin!
