Mod Launcher help

[Zeblamar]

I have an old version of the launcher that I haven't used in years. V 1.0.5.2 if that helps. Want to uninstall it and get new version. The problem is I can't find an uninstall any place. Yes I have looked in Add/Remove programs

In steam when I right click and go to properties it shows a path of C:\Users\zebla\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\MMGMA17Q.7R8\PQY8BA3Y.473\7d2d..tion_7648fef8e97e2d05_0001.0000_9436f24c146c3696\7D2DLauncher.exe"

Is there something along that path that I can just delete?

The ModLauncher's program is called ModLauncher.exe, you have found the 7DtD vanilla launcher (related to whether or not you wanted to start 7DtD with EAC turned off or not).

I'm not very experienced with the 7DtD Mod Launcher, but I don't think it actually installs itself, it's just a folder and executable program that does stuff (makes a copy of vanilla 7DtD and applies mods to one of the copies). To uninstall, you'd just delete the Mod Launcher's folder (default is C:\7D2DModLauncher-Windows-Installer\ while the modded-7DtD-copies are in C:\7D2D\ ).

The thing is I thought I uninstalled it at one time but still opens. In my steam library I have both "7 Days to Die" and "7D2DLauncher". The launcher opens the mod launcher V 1.0.5.2

I'm wondering if the uninstall didn't get rid of all of it for some reason. If I go to C:\Users\zebla\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\MMGMA17Q.7R8\PQY8BA3Y.473 it has two folders that start with 7d2d and both have things for the mod launcher. I have 7 Days to Die installed on a different drive

Well made a backup of the PQY8BA3Y.473 folder. Then deleted the two folders for the launcher and all folders created at the same time. Game still works and do not see any thing for the launcher.

If any thing happens I'll update. At this time I'm going to guess that either the uninstall didn't work all the way or I messed up on the install.

It's these sort of things which make it such a good idea to always create a copy of an apps folder to use for modding. Personally, I create a folder called MyModGames on the C: drive. Inside that I make a folder for each game I intend to mod. Also, I'll put a 'Utilities' folder which I store apps that are tools....like the ModLauncer app for example.....unless it's instructions say it needs to be in the game's folder. So, for example with the ModLauncher mod / app, it might look like;
C:\MyModGames\Utilities\modlauncher.exe--or whatever it's named.
Then there'd also be;
C:\MyModGames\7d2d
Then I'd be modding that copy of the game and not the original steam installation. Of course you need to create your own desktop shortcuts to these apps yourself. Delete the one's steam may have created initially if you chose to have it create the shortcuts for you.

Doing this means it's easy to find whatever mods you may have installed and if you just totally mess up a modded game, you can delete it, re-copy the app's folder from the steam install and start modding over again.
