Re-installing fails after removal of previous device RL was installed on #113

A while back one of my old harddrives broke down, and I had installed RuneLite on it. Now, once I try to reinstall, some of the previous configuration seems to still be present and it attempts to update/reinstall using the now unexistent path. What I now get is the following error:

I did manage fix this by removing the following registry key and its subkeys: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\RuneLite Launcher_is1

While the manual fix is relatively easy and I found it quickly, this might not be the case for many, so I hope this will be fixed at some point.

Adding the error message here so if people google it they will find it better:

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

If you arrived here by Google, the quick fix is to run regedit and remove the following key and its subkeys: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\RuneLite Launcher_is1
