I've tried installing hota, but when i select the folder i wanna install it in it says something like: "Horn of The Abyss files not found. Select the correct folder" (i'm installing it in a different language).

If nothing helps, go here and scroll down, searching for "_full_setup": https://h3hota.com/ru/download
