Fix for the error "The File could not be located in the installer's folder" If you copied the game files and don't have the registry entries for the GOG game you can get an error if you want to install a DLC for the game.
The error says "The File could not be located in the installer's folder".
You can fix the problem and install the DLC by adding the registry entries for the game.
You need 2 registry entries for the game, in order for the DLC installer to find the Installed game.
And you need to get the "Product ID" for the game from the online GOG database, using a browser.
For Wasteland 3, for example :
You need 2 registry entries: "dependsOn" and "path" that are located inside:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GOG.com\Games\2057748185]
"dependsOn"=""
"path"="D:\\Games\\Wasteland 3"
2057748185 is the "Product ID" for Wasteland 3.
You can find this "Product ID" by browsing
https://www.gogdb.org/products.
Find the game, open the game page and find the "Product ID" (Be Careful because Is Different from the "ID").
On the Wasteland 3 page (
https://www.gogdb.org/product/2057748185) the Product ID is 2057748185.
Use this to create a .reg file with the path of the game on your drive.
the game_fix.reg file looks like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GOG.com\Games\2057748185]
"dependsOn"=""
"path"="D:\\Games\\Wasteland 3"
The path of the Wasteland 3 game was in this case: D:\Games\Wasteland 3 .
After you add the registry entries from this file to the Windows registry, by double-clicking on it, you can install the DLC for the game.
I hope it helps.
