Wolvenkit's settings and what they mean

TL;DR
You must make sure that your Game Executable Path is set. Wolvenkit will not work otherwise.
Setting
value
Game Executable Path (.exe)

C:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe
Depot Path
Defaults to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot

A folder where Wolvenkit can store all its clutter. 
NOT your game directory.

Settings explained
Show File Preview
Enables interactive Quick Previews within the Properties panel. Toggle off for improved performance when navigating the Asset Browser and Project Explorer.
Game Executable (.exe) Path
The Game Executable (.exe) Path is the location of the Cyberpunk2077.exe file. The .exe can be located by finding the Cyberpunk installation and navigating to the Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\ folder. The path can be set by manually entering a file path, or using the folder icon to browse system files for the preferred Cyberpunk directory. 
If Cyberpunk is installed within Program Files we recommend running WolvenKit as administrator.
Depot Path
The Depot Path is a WolvenKit system folder for caching game assets.  It serves as a cache for mesh exports with materials. WolvenKit builds a repository of visual assets within the Depot for usage with external applications such as MLSetupBuilder or Blender. 
By default, it is set to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot, but you can pick any location. It does not need to be on an SSD, although Wolvenkit might load faster if it is.
Depending on how many game assets you extract, the Depot can grow to more than 30 gigabytes.

Analyze Mods
Uncheck the box to disable validation of installed .archive files. This will improve performance when switching to the Mod Browser, but you won't receive warnings about corrupt archives anymore.
Additional Mod Directory
A directory for .archive mods outside of your game directory, for example for resources that you want to load for multiple projects. Mods inside this folder will show up in the Mod Browser after your installed mods.
