Description

My steam games location are under my D: drive under a raid system.
I have never had any issues with SEtoolbox until now, it reads the location fine but says its invalid.

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Bin64\SpaceEngineers.exe

results , says invalid location. never had this issue before.

When directing it to the exe I get this.
the continue tab will not highlight for me to select continue.

I have tried both versions of latest SEtoolbox the msi and zipped file with same result.

I will not re-install the game to my C: as space engineers changed the way mods are installed and location has moved from appuserdata to to steam workshop folder itself. this is why all my games are under my raid system to keep my SSD from filling up and taking space.

Research direction

Reproduce the invalid-location result using D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Bin64\SpaceEngineers.exe, then trace the application-location validation and the disabled Continue control. Done means a valid installation on a non-C: drive is accepted and Continue becomes available.
