Hi Alberto
I think you need to just run the LR installation again. It doesn't take long and will re-find?? PS.
Not ideal, but I can't find any other way.

This is from the help section..  Maybe trying the method in the Note below might help?

Choose an external editor

You can designate an application to be used as an external editor in the Preferences dialog box. Once an application is chosen, you can always use Preferences to change to a different application.

   1. In the External Editors preferences, click Choose in the Additional External Editor area.
   2. When the External Editor dialog box opens, navigate to and select the application you want to use, and then click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).
      Note: You can also select an external editor by choosing Photo > Edit In Other Application from the Library or Develop module. You’ll be prompted to navigate to and select the application you want to use. Once you choose an external editor, the name of the application appears as Edit In [Name of Application] in the Photo menu.

On a PC, run regedit and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe]

Change the entries from CS3 to CS2 (make sure it points to the correct directory).

Restart your computer

I have the exact same problem and can't seem to fix it.  When I go into regedit on my PC, I can navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\, but then there is no "photoshop.exe" in the list.  Any tips?  Can I create something there that will fix this?

UPDATE: I fixed it by adding a shortcut to Photoshop.exe file in the export actions folder.

Thanks,

Peter
