Cant install SMM3, Used SMM2 , however uninstall is failing due to missing drive.
Had been using SMM2, went to upgrade to SMM3, and ran the installer. It ran through once, but the app is not present.
Ran again and it now errors out saying the drive for SMM2 is missing.
Went to appdata and removed the SMM folders there.
Thank you for theh assist~!

Failed to uninstall SMM2
Try uninstalling SMM2 from the Windows Settings (Add or remove programs) or Windows Control Panel.
If uninstalling SMM2 from the settings or control panel still doesn't work, install a version of SMM2 (https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/SatisfactoryModManager/releases/tag/v2.9.3) such that there is something valid to uninstall, then try installing SMM3 again

smm2uninstallfailed triggered by @sjhoward3Installed the app successfully, then uninstalled. Tried to install SMM3 and it throws the same error about the missing drive from the old one.
Is there a file or registry to edit /remove?
found and removed these. Will try again
looks like the installer is trying to install there. Did not get a prompt on the SMM3 installer to serlect location.
