Description

Dropping "BAR_Demo_Debug_Launcher.exe" inside current BAR install folder "G:\BAR\Beyond-All-Reason" causes the game launcher to prompt me for a fresh installation. If you look in the second image the instalation confirms that there's BAR present on drive C, this is beacuse I actually allowed the instlation to happen because I thought there might have been an update. Usually my BAR plays from G drive.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem by placing BAR_Demo_Debug_Launcher.exe in the existing G:\BAR\Beyond-All-Reason installation and launching it. Investigate how the launcher detects the current installation, then verify that it recognizes the G drive installation without prompting for a fresh install.
