So I tried a few different locations on my hard drive for the install. The one that finally worked was directly in the C drive and no sub folders. I wasn't using a windows folder before but I had put it in the Program Files folder. The mods are all about read the instructions, and while I understand that the vast majority of people don't read the instructions. For those of us that did follow every step, they also aren't specific on where to install the bot. It says verbatim on the install guide "Open and Extract ( for example with Winrar) the content of the Updater.rar into an empty folder on your computer." So one would think that any folder other than the windows folder would work.

TL:DR - Try clean installs into multiple locations, the one that worked for me was directly in the C drive in a folder I named FFXIV BOT
