Shivering Isles - corrupted installation?

Post » Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:14 pm

Hello BGS forum, I'm in the middle of reinstalling Oblivion, going for an FCOM setup, and when I got to installing Francesco's, the installer couldn't detect Shivering Isles, even though I installed it off the GOTY discs. I went to my data files folder and confirmed that the BSAs and plugin were indeed installed, and my DLCList looks normal, but for some reason, my DLCShiveringIsles.esp is only 85 bytes in size. That seems like it can't possibly be right, given the size of the expansion; can anyone with a working copy help me figure out what's up with this? Thanks

85 bytes is the correct size, it's a placeholder. The SI install actually alters the Oblivion exe and data files. Hence the GOTY version is fully patched once the second disk is installed.

Ok thanks. Still don't know why Francesco's installer thinks its missing... I'll try to force it to install the SI version, and go from there
