There's two ways to fix this: 1) edit your computer's registry (which is dangerous if you do it incorrectly) or 2) use the SHValidator app which will verify the path to your SH5 folder. If the registry is incorrect it will give the option to have the app automatically correct the registry.
Now why this happens on reinstalls: the SH5 installer fails to update the registry with the new path when you reinstall SH5.

Funny, I've only installed this once,However, Win7 (like mine) sometimes has Two program folder files, Which doesn't matter as I installed SH5 in C/Ubisoft/SH5, This is weird... and I wouldn't know what to type in the registry to correct it.
I'm going to keep trying the mod but now I'm interested as to why the game path is tweaked.
Everytime we find out something that might get this thing a little closer to working. Also, the other mods (again) seem to be working, I know the Env mods are anyway...
