I had a bad hard drive that I had to uninstall from my computer recently. (D: drive) Unfortunately, I had Nvidia GeForce experience on there. I tried installing it again on my C: drive but for some reason it won't let me install it at all.
Instead I get the error: "The System cannot find the file specified"
I had GeForce experience on my D: drive up and running before I had the hard drive failure so my guess is it's trying to either update or access that file which is on my old drive.

I also noticed in my C: drive, I do have the GeForce experience and other display driver files there, but they will not run when I try accessing them.

Is there anything I can do to make Windows access these or a way to point the newly downloaded GeForce program to install in my C: drive?

Thanks!

Did you try uninstalling from Programs and Features? Then run a CCleaner scan/registry. And try again.

The installer should always go on C, unless you change it.

Just download the latest nvidia drivers and do a custom, clean install.
