Pick a Folder
When you choose a mod to install it ask you where you want the mod to be install by picking a folder, but when I do, then click install, the launcher says the folder do not exist, regardless that I create the folder with the launcher it self. The only option I get is to install it into the root folder but prefer to install them else where. Is it normal?
Cheers,

Pick a Folder
When I tried to install a mod, I got the option to pick a folder to where the mod should be install. When I choose the folder(or in this instance creating a new one), then when click install the launcher says that the folder do not exist, the only other option is to install it into the root folder but prefer to install them elsewhere. How can I fix it so it install the mod where i wanted to? Also tried to run it as Admin and do not have the option on the proprieties of the shortcut the run it that way.

You can specify a top level folder of where all your mods get installed. Then, off of that root, it'll install the mods in a non-conflicting way. This design consideration was made so people wouldn't get stumped on folder names.
So if you picked D:\7D2D, then Spider's True Survival would be installed under D:\7D2D\Spider\TrueSurvivalSDX. You can pick the top level, but not where the individual games go.
When you say pick a folder, are you referring to the top level folder, D:\7D2D in the above example? Or did you want more specific control over where, let's say, True Survival SDX gets installed?
The 7D2DModLauncher.exe can be placed anywhere, and can be added to Steam as a non-Steam game to enable the overlay.
Unfortunately, due to the installer I use, the Mod Launcher itself gets installed as a One-Click application, so we don't get to pick where it goes. I don't even have that level of control; it's strictly a Microsoft decision.

GOOD Morning sphereii
Just wanted to let you know that the update 1.0.3.3 is working great ... I have installed a couple other 7D2D versions and the launcher is sorting as it should.
One question .. When you do an update to your Launcher .. will the launcher update by itself or should I check back once in awhile to see if a newer version is out.
I was just wondering .. Have a Great Weekend

What am I doing wrong ?
I have downloaded the launcher , tried the Starvation and all was working great for about 1 hour , got jumped by some day runner Z and got killed then pouff black screen , tried to launch the regular game = black screen . uninstalled the game & launcher then deleted any & all items related to 7dtd and reinstalled both.
I could launch & play the regular game so tried to launch Valmod and I was back on black screen.
What am I doing wrong , is my PC not able to handle that , I have a I7 6cores GeForce GTX 960 with 16GB Ram.

The copy of Starvation available through the Mod Launcher is for the DONA Survival Group; it won't work in single player, unfortunately.
Are you using Advanced mode or Simple Mode? It's recommended to use Advanced, since it will create a copy of the game, saving your regular Steam copy for vanilla game play.
You could also post your logs for me to review, by clicking on the the Valmod you are trying to play, then click on View menu, then Log files. There should be a drop down menu at the top that gives the log file of the Launcher itself, and of the game. Click on Update log file, and it'll give you a link. Give me those links, and I'll take a look.

Small request for the next version of the launcher. Can you have the application remember the check/unchecked settings, specifically the update registry checkbox? Playing TrueSurvival, your launcher always will force the server settings to Spider's server if the registry box is left checked. This can be annoying if you play on a different server. If you allowed this box to be left off it should remember the last used server config.

Well I click the Install Mod button again ( I don't have a green check mark in the left box that would say install ) so after clicking install I get a 7D2D mod Launcher Unhandled exeption box with those details : See the end of this message for details on invokingSometimes I get a bit wordy.Thanks for bearing with me.
Yes, that's one of the logs I wanted to see. That one looks alright. Could you start the game again, and give me the log file again?
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

It's no bother at all. Let's get you all set up
When you go to Install Mod, you may have to click on the little drop down under the Copy From Existing, and select your Steam path. I think sometimes that may go wonky. I think another True Survival SDX user had the same issue today.
Let me know how that works out for you. If it doesn't work, then we'll dig deeper into it.

I can see the game icon appear on taskbar but it vanishes as if it closed itself or crash ( 46 years old and can't figure that stuff if my life depended on it , I think it would be easier for me to learn to speak Klingon ) lol

haha no worries; sounds like you are making progress.
With the Mod selected, go in the View menu of the Mod Launcher, and click on Log Files. There, you should see two drop down boxes, one with a log file of the launcher, and the other with the log file of the game. Select each one, and click on Upload log file. It'll give you a link to pastebin for each log file. Can you provide me with those logs, and we'll get you set up?
