Installed in a different location error

[buhguhjuh]

Hello. Whenever I try to launch the app, i get this error. It happens both thru .application and thru .exe

The details.txt say that it is installed in a rar folder in appdata, but the catch is that the temp folder in appdata does not exist.

I tried deleting temp files thru disc cleanup, restarting pc, looked at add or remove programs, pasting the pathway to the folder directly into file explorer, nothing has worked. There is no way to uninstall the program as well, how it says to do in the details. The app only shows the error

Details are here (sorry for the lack of formatting, its my first time using github)

Sorry just saw the issue. Try to look for C:/Users/YOUR_NAME/AppData/Local/Apps folder. There should be subfolder somewhere starts with andr... (Try to click a few times because they're located deep in the folder tree). Delete those folders and the app will be deleted. I haven't tried it but hope it helps.
