My drive with Hero Lab on it is in the process of dying.
I believe I have copied everything off of it, onto an external drive.

Most of the time, when I restart, the dying drive is not visible.
The HL portfolio files no longer have the HL graphic.
When I attempt to uninstall Hero Lab, it says, "D:\Program Files (x86)\Hero Lab\unins000.exe. The system cannot find the drive specified."

Occasionally on restart, the system can see the D drive.
I get the Hero Lab icons for the portfolios.
Attempting to un-install or run HL gets a message to the effect that my version cannot fun on my system and I should get a version for my system.

When I run the installer, it defaults to my C: drive, without giving me the option on where to put it.
Then it gives me the error, "The drive of UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another."

I originally had HL installed to my C drive, but removed it and reinstalled to my D drive, about a year ago when I was trying to free up space on the SSD.
Hero Lab does not show up under Program Files or Program Files (x86) for my C drive, but there is a directory for it under ProgramData.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you copy the \Program Files (x86)\Hero Lab\ directory to the external drive? Maybe you could map the external drive to D: and work it that way.

A program called Revo Uninstaller managed to delete the registry information, so I was able to reinstall Hero Lab.

Great, glad you got it sorted out! There's one specific registry key you can delete to make it ask you for a new folder to install to, but I didn't want to post it in a public forum in case people who didn't need to started doing it, as I don't want anyone messing with the registry unless they have to.
