Same thing happening to me. I think its because my folder path has the word drive in it which is being matched to findstr /I "Google Drive"
For reference my install location is C:\Users\myuser\Xerox\xeroxdrivers\AI\SillyTavern-Launcher
I just deleted the section of installer.bat that checks it and it worked after that

The issue has been fixed by updating the findstr commands to avoid false positives when folder paths contain substrings like "drive" it should now correctly check for cloud storage folders without misinterpreting unrelated paths.

Can you confirm if this resolves the issue for you, @PlanetSat0rnium @valtnsfw? If so, we can close this issue.
