[youffie]

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for the help.

I did a clean install of FF7 on my HDD via steam and when installing 7th Heaven on the same hard drive as FF7 game (NOT MY C: DRIVE)
after first launch i always get the same error.

here is the error:

Could not find a part of the path 'G:\My Games\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\mods\7th Heaven'.

did you install 7th heaven over top of the original version if so delete it all and reinstall. If thats not the case then it may be picking up old remnants of another ff7 installation best way to make sure would be to uninstall FF7 delete all folders associated if anything is left behind and then download and run THIS tool that will remove any old registry keys left once done reinstall FF7 and try again

hope this helps

Before trying all the stuff that Flash suggested (which is good info), the simplest fix that usually works is to use the correct paths in 7th Heaven. Click Settings>General Settings. On the first line for ff7 exe, click the icon all the way on the right and select your correct folder/location for your ff7.exe file and click save then try again.
