WD Discovery to reinstall?

It seems that “WD discovery” is no more installed on my PC : The icon is not more linked to any file.
I tried to resintal it, it says that I alreday use the last version of the software (version 4.3.327)
I tried ti remove it from the windows interface, it says that windows cannot find C:\Program files (x86)\Western Digital\Discovery\Current\WD Discovery.exe

What can i do to execute the software ?

Thank you for your answer.
