Hope these two pictures will be helpful Dave.

Unless you've got something better up your sleeve, I'm thinking another Quick Install is the only way to fix this then I can do the scan afterwards to bring the whole of Logos together again. Let me know what you think.
There was no Logos in the %localappdata% by the way.

If you are satisfied that F:\logos has your resources, then delete the Logos4 folder in %localappdata% and do a standard install of Logos (quick/minimum) and do the scan from F:/logos. If everything is working you can then delete F:/logos.

I cannot find Logos in or with %localappdata%. I've been presently downloading the Quick Install for the last several hours and when it is complete, I'll do the scan from the F: Logos.
Regarding installing Logos on a new computer, would it not be wise to copy the Folder from the F: drive onto a Thumb drive and put it on a new computer & do what I am now - doing the Quick Install and scanning the copied Folder? Tell me this is not mentioned in Method 2.
Thank you Dave for hanging in on this one. Your help is very much appreciated!

You paste %localappdata% into File Explorer, click, and it opens immediately to the folder with Logos4 that you showed in a screenshot.

Tried that on both the C: & F: drives and it doesn't go to Logos. It only gives me a "no items match your search" -

Paste it into a blank search box, then click!

I was pasting it in File Explorer but in the Search Local instead of the open bar to the left of it. Now doing the latter, it brings up the Logos4 amongst other things.
I notice the Folder holds 8.74 Gigs instead of the twenty something previously. Anyway, when Logos downloads the Quick Install, I'll do the scan from the F: drive and I'll let you know how it goes.

And this is all that has happened after "several hours"?
What is the structure of the Logos4 folder (screenshot please). How big is the \Resources folder?

Can you check the Registry and look for InstallDirectory as we did previously. Does Logos4 have all the sub-folders as per my screenshot?

Sorry for the confusion. The Logos4 Folder previous to renaming it and then remarkably deleting it, was 26.1 Gigs I believe. After the Logos4 Folder was considerably smaller.
After doing the Quick Install, there is no longer a Logos4 Folder on the C:drive. I've just hit the scan f:\Logos and it's Indexing so unless it creates a new Folder on the C: drive which would be even more weird, it's totally disappeared.

After doing the scan F:\Logos, everything is working 100%.
I've checked the Registry and Logos4 is still there but with no InstallDirectory. But as said earlier, there is no Logos4 on the C: drive any longer. Have you an explanation as to why that disappeared?

Description are not helpful! There has to be a %localappdata% folder with Logos in its name, so please provide a screenshot.
Also provide a screenshot of the Registry Logos4 folder.

I have no idea why this Folder wasn't showing where it was before (I think it was under Documents) so I assumed it was gone. Obviously, I should have checked under Users. Maybe you've got an explanation.
Anyway, Logos is working well as far as I can tell but as you can see, there is no Installer showing in the Registry.

Provide a screenshot of the Logos4 folder (how big is it?) and the F:\Logos folder (how big). Also provide separate screenshots of each \Data sub-folder (it should have one or two sub-folders). How big are the \Resources folder in each location?
What is the Version in the Registry and the version you get from Logos itself? How exactly did you perform the installation?

Logos4 on C: drive is 25.8Gigs whereas Logos on the F: drive is 31.9 Gigs on Disk. No version is given in the Registry.
Here's one of the pictures you've asked for. To take pictures of every individual Folder and its subdirectories would leave me posting pictures here the rest of the evening. I'll send another picture of the F: Logos Folder.
I know you're looking for something Dave but what is it?

That wasn't what I was asking, so I think we should discontinue the conversation at this point.
Here's my summary:
- Logos4 on C:\ does not have all the sub-folders for an installation and Logos.exe is missing.
- F:\Logos has all the sub-folders of a custom installation, and its Logos.exe appears to be the current version (9.12.0.17), which you can confirm by hovering over it.
- The Registry is incomplete and you probably can't uninstall Logos.
- If Logos is working OK there is no need to worry about these details!
As you system appears to be failing, you should take precautions:
- Backup the F:\Logos folder to a removable drive
- Backup other data that is important to you.
When reinstalling Logos on a new computer, use Method 2 with the backup of F:/Logos.

Very good Dave. I've used computers for years but regarding the mechanics, as you can see, I'll quickly take the back seat.
I do have everything backed up including of course, the Logos Folder.
Thank you so much for your expertise, patience and instructions.
