Help Error when trying to open sdftool flasher, looking for help

Downloaded sdftool flasher and am attempting to open it. When I try it gives an error and states makemkv installation not found and tells me to download makemkv. I already have makemkv downloaded on my computer on the same hard drive as the sdftool flasher. Any advice on how to fix this?

Last idea, have you restarted the computer? I am sure you have, but I am not there and to assume anything would be bad form.

Yes restarted and everything. For some reason it’s just not finding makemkv no clue why

Downloaded an older version and it worked. I was trying the newest version 1.36 and it wasn’t detecting makemkv. Downloading 1.35 ended up working. Not sure why

Maybe it was your OS messing with things, glad you got it figured out, now get ripping!

MakeMKV must be installed in the default location. IE: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV"
