Now i redeemed a eu4 code i got on steam a year ago and i installed eu4 on my D hard disk. But then a few months later my hard disk D broke down and i wasnt able to retrieve anything from it. And now that i want to install the paradox launcher on my pc it constantly tries to find local disk D. I tried cleaning the registry files, deleting the launcher settings but the launcher is still on my program list and when i try to uninstall it, it tries to uninstall from D and i dont know what to do, since i love eu4 with mods. Is there any way to fix this???
 
Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Note that you can run ck3.exe directly from Windows Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.
