Well ,
I successfully Installed the WOFF UE digital version
then the skin pack
and I played WOFF ok.

Then I saw that there is an update on the site , so I downloaded BUT when I try to install it
it says it cannot find the WOFF UE installation path.
I tried also as admin and with antivirus(WEBROOT) on/off but no luck
I have win x64 home 1803 with 16GB RAM, i5 4460, Nvidia 1050ti , evrything updated to the latest update
the game is installed on external ssd J:\...

I also checked the registry and as far as i can tell all WOFF UE entries point to the right path.

HELP!!!!!

From my experience, uninstall everything. Reinstall WOFF. Then try installing the patch. Then the skin pack.

Something is porked.

Well,
I uninstalled everything from toolbox and I cleaned WOFF registry also from toolbox. Then I deleted remained files/folders.

Then i reinstalled to another usb hdd and everything went OK

WOFF UE 4.07 => skinPack => musicPack => 4.17 update => Run => Everything OK!!!

Previously I have used a small usb 3.0 ssd 128 GB which windows shows as MOBILE storage ( and this cannot be changed - I have tried).
Now I used a 500GB usb 3.0 ssd ( I want WOFF to go FAST smile )

I'm not sure but If there is something to blame is this "mobile storage" because it seems this was the reason WOFF Installers couldn't find the WOFF install.
Although it's kind of strange because someone could bet that the installers check the registry entries to find the WOFF install folder and the registry pointed to the right path as far as
I can tell from my little registry search.

Anyway, everythings OK now so thank you everyone for your help!

Consider this a warning : DO NOT use a mobile storage for WOFF install folder, flash, hhd or ssd.....
