NMM 18.9 FO3 GOTY Error: Invalid Archive

Post » Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:54 am

Problem: Open the NMM in FO3 mode, works fine for about 20 seconds, then it spits out the following error.

Message: Invalid archive: open/read error! It was encrypted and a wrong password was provided?
If your archive is an exotic one, it is possible that SevenZipShartp has no signature for it's format thus decided it is TAR by mistake

*ramblings about SevenZip archives*


Now, I've downloaded and installed the Archive Invalidation Invalidated program, and run it correctly. The .bsa is in my data files... What the heck? The main directory and data folder are not set to "read only", along with all there sub folders and files.

Also, is there anything special I need to do to get FO3 to play nice with Windows 7 64-bit? Or are all these horror storries around the internet still true?
