Need help with Matrix

I recently installed a 1TB SSD to my system and cloned over the old Hard Drive. Matrix is giving me an error 'the folder path Program Files (X86) contains an invalid character. It will not let me repair or remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a tendency never to put anything in the Program Files (X86) folder unless it absolutely needs it. Too many security issues.
Is it the case that this is the first time you have run Matrix since your cutover?
Now I had a look at my Matrix settings and in the user.config I found the "InstallPath" setting parm as follows :-
Code: Select all
<setting name="InstallPath" serializeAs="String">
<value>F:\MATRIX\Military AI Works\</value>
</setting>
This proves that it will easily take a blank space in the file name.
Search for 'matrix.exe' on your system and find the weird named folder, mine is MATRIX.exe_Url_bponwpd5hjhvh2stp5mhnt5ibbq1etxd, and inside that there will be a folder for each version that you installed.
Look at the user.config in the latest folder you have and could you post the relevant entry, as I did.
