Getting the [##:##:## ERR] Unknown Platform. Failed to find Elite Dangerous install directory

MinEDLauncher.exe is located in the folder; C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous where ED is installed with steam.

Win10 x64 Default Steam install.

Also tried modifying the json settings;

`{
    "apiUri": "https://api.zaonce.net",
    "watchForCrashes": false,
    "gameLocation": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Elite Dangerous\\EDLaunch.exe",
    "language": null,
    "autoUpdate": true,
    "maxConcurrentDownloads": 4,

        { "sku": "FORC-FDEV-DO-38-IN-40", "filter": "edh4" }
    ],
    "additionalProducts": []
}`

Below is my log file;

I mistakenly copied all but one quotation mark for the steam launcher options; cmd /c "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /autoquit /EDH

should have been cmd /c "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /autoquit /EDH"

I had trouble launching the game with min-ed, and turns out I also did this mistake, however I was getting the absurd Platform: Dev and [ERR] Unhandled exception: System.NotImplementedException: Arg_NotImplementedException messages at launch in the log. Once I added the " at the end of the odyssey steam launch options, cmd /c "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /autoquit /edo" the error was solved.
