Windows 10: The Drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another.

So I have Microsoft Visual Studio code, on my work computer, but I saved it on a drive. Which I left at the office, so I tryied to reinstall Visual Studio Code, and this pops up. This is not the first time I have seen this error message, I have seen this error message on my personal pc, with a toolkit for a video game. So if you guys could help me out that would be awesome! I really need Microsoft Visual Studio Code, to do my job.

Hi Oscar. I'm Greg, an Independent Advisor here to help until this is resolved.

What works for others is to uninstall the launcher including removing any reference to it in the registry, then reinstall it from a fresh download. Steps here:

The drive or UNC share you have selected does not exist or is not accessible. - Questions
- Escape from Tarkov Forum

The drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not - Microsoft Community

Before editing the registry, set a System Restore point first so you can go back if necessary:

If this does not work at first there are other suggestions given that worked for others in the same thread. I can also help you as needed to make the registry change given, and to search the registry for any remaining keys for the launcher following this guide
to search the registry:

Search Windows Registry Keys, Values and Settings



Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.

 

When trying to install VS Code - The drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another.

Hi there

When I try to install VS Code, I get the error mentioned in the subject

"The drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another."

This started happening after my main hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall windows. VS Code was installed on another storage drive. I tried to delete it to make a fresh install so that the error would not pop up anymore (the error would pop up when VS
Code would try to auto update).

Foolishly, I decided to delete the install folder instead of trying to uninstall. I imagine this has led me to this issue. I've tried deleting any other Code related files that reside in %appdata%, but that has yielded no results. I still get that error
every time I run the VS Code installer.

Looking for any support that may help resolve this issue.

Thanks
