Trouble with Modding

[shello]

I'm new to modding Stardew Valley and I was using this guide (http://canimod.com/for-players/install-smapi) to help me install SMAPI to get my game ready for mods.
There's a step that requires me to change the launch settings so it runs SMAPI with the game. However, when I changed the launch settings I keep having problems.

I tried C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe %command%, but when I tried to open the game Windows told me it couldn't find "C:\Program". And when I take out the spaces or replace them with underscores, then it takes the whole line of text and tells me it can't find it.

What did I do wrong??

Wrap the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe part in "".

What's happening is the spaces in the Program Files (x86) bit are being read as argument splits, and the command line is trying to split it up into extra arguments. Making it look like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

should fix the issue.

Thank you for the tip, but I tried it and now it's saying "there was an error while updating Stardew Valley: missing executable." What's a missing executable? @_@

Make sure you have StardewValley.exe and StardewModdingAPI.Exe in your game folder. If you'll encounter any other issues, try to launch the game directly from the game folder, using StardewModdingAPI.Exe. It will launch your (modded) game on steam anyway.

EDIT - I actually didn't have StarDewModdingAPI.exe in the game folder... Whoops! It's working now. Thank you <3

Have you uninstalled smapi or just removed the mods from the folder?
