Yeah, the Steam installation directory (not the ff7 installation directory)
 
Well all i can say then is make sure everything there actually points to the game and run again. That's all i got sorry. I tried :D
 
i have :( that's all i've been doing... i'm really good at following instructions.. (Hence the hacked 3DS)
 
still got no fun...
i managed to find an installer for the new threat and it works... i found some HD gfx and also music too. only problem is. i cant use the updated hd gfx with the new threat unless i use 7thHeaven (and for that, i need the converted game)

this is really a big issue... i've spend 7 hours of the game so far, and i'm STILL at the beginning :/
Please! Help me :/
 
Okay.....
Try uninstalling the game completely,
Press "Win + R" type "%appdata%" and delete 7Hth workshop.
Press "Win + R" type "regedit" and remove anything in the final fantasy section that connects to the converter.
i.e "Game converter keys"

Start from the very begining again. I know it's horrible but should be worth it
 
Ok, i have uninstalled,
deleted the data in appdata
deleted teh registrys for valve
and also the square enix folder in documents.

run fff reg cleaner.
run CCleaner

now i've installed Steam again.
installing FF7 now.
Then i'm going to run the converter and see what happens.

EDIT:
Didin't work...
It there a way i can make regkeys or do the converters job manually (i see a nice sprinkles folder within the exe... and i have ahex editor and Notepad++)

Or can i alter the .bat somehow? (i know how to edit it, just not what to edit it to)

I am having the same exact problem as you. Are you using Windows 10? If so I think it is a Windows 10 issue. I tried using both the steam version and downloading Toms Installer and getting the same problem with it just saying Find FF7 Game Converter. I do know if you are using winrar or any other extractor, you can right click on FF7 Game Converter and extract the content's into a directory. If you manage to figure out how to get this working after that let me know. I really want to get this working for myself as well.

If you do this, then there is little support I can offer. Sorry, I'm not trying to be awful on purpose or anything, it's just that I don't have the time to do "work arounds" with every individual who has a relatively rare issue. If you find it yourself, please post about it. I fix is still needed though, not just work arounds.
 
There's always the chance that if your running Win10 that could be the issue. Try using Tom's installer. He made it for Win10 specifically. You'll find it easy enough if you google qhimm toms installer
 
Here is an example of what I get when I tell it where the install directory is for FF7.

I have tried both Steam and Toms Installer. Both times it does this. I have cleaned my registry after every time i uninstalled FF7 and it still does exactly this after every single try. I use Windows 10.
 
You know what. I take it back. I guess it does seem to work you just have to wait a really long time? Either way after waiting forever I am getting this.

But I do have a drive named that. I downloaded the blank iso and mounted it via Daemon Tools lite.
 
yeah, none of that worked for me, so i'm sticking to the Reunion mod, Anxious heart and Oucho. for now, untill a fix is ready. or 7thHeaven will work with the steam version of ff7 somehow.
 
I don't think this issue is win10 specific, I got it working and there was no issues.
Steps I took. I followed the guide.
Downloaded FFVII on steam (to c:/games/) (did not launch it at all)
Downloaded the blank ISO (win10 auto mounted it for me)
Downloaded and ran the game converter from step 1 on tut page (Not the special win10 one)
game converter did NOT auto find the install directory so I manually typed it in. After the prompts it brought up the FFVII config tool and I just kept following instructions.

Nothing special happened, it went completely as expected.
I know Coreag is using windows 10 (like me), and judging from screenshots Akawashi is using windows 7 and they're both having the same issue. There's got to be something else they have in common that's interfering with now this stuff installs.
 
You running the converter as admin? Only other thing is keep installing it different places and regcleaning after every attempt
 
You have to run it as admin or the thing will freak out at you with red screen and everything.
So yes, I ran it as admin (the second time)
 
I don't know what the issue was that causes the converter to not function properly, but I solved it by formatting and reinstalling Windows 10. Obviously this isn't optimal for everyone but at least it solved my issue.

Good! Now, turn off windows updates as they tend screw up the game launch after each one is installed. You honestly don't need them anymore.
 
Yeah not always the best policy to ignore updates, they patch security holes and bugs and stuff, and most windows 10 updates are just defender definition files and should not affect how the game launches. Only update I think that may mess with launcher is the win 10 anniversary update which should have come and gone on most machines by now.
 
Matter of opinion and experience on this one. You will run into an FF7 not working after updating, trust me. But you can always run the GC again and choose the Overwrite option. That's specifically why it has that option.

I have updates installed on my Windows 7 PC... but i didn't think that would be an issue...
but it STILL doesn't give me any overwrite option cos it has no permissions :/
