Help With Windows 7 : IV

» Mon Aug 09, 2010 3:39 am

I received my new rig, installed Oblivion to MyGames newly created directory.
Shivering Isles, OBMM, OBSE, Wrye Bash and Pluggy managed to find the new directory byt TES4EDIT, TES4LODGen and TES4Gecko don't want to start.
ElminsterEU's profgrams all report they cannot fond the installation path.
How to show these nice programs the new installation paths so I can enjoy their functions again?
Thanks.

ahhh...New Boxes are fun aren't they!! Don't know if you have this worked out yet, but have you re-installed these. pretty sure that TES4LOD just needs to be in the folder with all the MODs.

Wasn't sure if you reinstalled or not as you say the other programs FOUND the new directory. that led me to believe that they were still installed but on a different drive?

If for some reason you are still experiencing issues. Try looking at this quote I posted at the TES4LODGen thread...

Just a little issue I figured out a solution to...

For those that get the error from TES4LODGen where it starts searching the wrong install path for your .esp and .bsa files.
What caused this to happen for me was when I unpacked .exe mod files into non-Oblivion installed path.

My Oblivion install resides in E:\Games\Oblivion

For example - unpacking Frans Creatures into a separate file path (E:\Data) in order to create an OMOD later.

Or, in my case... I downloaded and unpacked Kvatch Rising .exe to a non Oblivion install location.(E:\Data) to create an OMOD.

This made TES4LODGen think that Oblivion was now installed in E:\Data

To fix, just backup your Oblivion\Data folder and re-install a mod which is unpacked via .exe into your Oblivion folder.
Must be your Oblivion folder and not Oblivion\Data folder.

This fixed it for me.
