Help Please. WITP doesn't run on Windows 11

My system drive crashed and the person put on Windows 11 instead of the Windows 10 I had.
I cannot get WITP:AE to run now. All I get is "Fatal Error 200"
What do I need to do?
Addendum:
I have all the Matrix games installed on a game drive and not the system drive. Could there be a file that gets put on the system drive or that there isn't a registry entry for the game?
Thanks and please help.

Delete WitP AE and reinstall. Saves will be OK.

You have to reinstall the game to set up the registry.
As said, saves will be OK, but if in doubt, copy SAVE directory to somewhere else and after installation, copy it back.

What about my game setup? I'm playing 2-dayturns and the other game settings?

Two questions:
1. Is there a file I could copy? I just renamed the old WITP folder and installed fresh and copied my scenario and save files over
2. I think I know this one but just want to confirm. When the tech installed a new system drive for some reason he changed my drive letters and my game drive has a different drive now. I got IntelMonkey to work just with copying it over and installing Python but Tracker is still looking for it on the other drive and I can't see where to change it. Will I have to re-install Tracker?

There is no magic trick to getting any bit of software to work when you go though a problem like you have just had.
You need to remove all progams and reinstall. The normal uninstall process is highly unlikely to work so it's a manual operation. Try uninstall first but be prepared to manually delet all the games folder etc. Save files and any other docs you may have created are usually OK, just copy them to a temp folder but you will need to redo all set up.
Simple aps, like tracker can be copied but you do have to configure then so thay know were to look. Edit witptracker.properties.
