This seems to indicate that you are installing with "/program files" or "/program files (x86)" in the installation path. JSGME does not function with those in the path.

i.e. edit the installation path to ANY drive letter as you are trying to do but be sure to delete the above from the installation path if you haven't already done so.


FYI, I never let any games install into /program files or /program files (x86)...


1. It's a left over remnant from earlier versions of DOS/Windows to supposedly protect non savvy users from overflowing the Root-folder with too many entries. Sub-folders such as /program files and /program files (x86) have NO limit on the amount of sub-folders within them because unlike the root folder, they can "grow" to accommodate literally thousands of sub-folders which wasn't a bad idea BY ITSELF but...

2. Microsoft built administrator privilege protection crapola into these two sub-folders "/program files" or "/program files (x86)" that interferes with a lot of programs not put out by Microsoft directly which includes the majority of games.
