Seting up an installation of Oblivion for a friend, so only ESM + 2 ESPs from CD install. Saw that Wrye Bash 281 was out at Nexus, so thought would be good chance to try it as I'm still running 279 on my own system. However, on booting it up I get errors and Oblivion ESM is highlighted in purple.

 Traceback (most recent call last):  File "F:\Oblivion\Mopy\basher.py", line 3712, in RefreshData    bosh.modInfos.rescanMergeable(scanList,progress)  File "F:\Oblivion\Mopy\bosh.py", line 8055, in rescanMergeable    canMerge = PatchFile.modIsMergeable(modInfo) == True  File "F:\Oblivion\Mopy\bosh.py", line 13704, in modIsMergeable    if 'NoMerge' in modInfos[GPath(modInfo.name.s)].getBashTags(): reasons += "\n.    Has 'NoMerge' tag."  File "F:\Oblivion\Mopy\bosh.py", line 7288, in getBashTags    tags = self.getRow().get('bashTags')AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

If I install 279 it runs fine (added 1 esp to check bashing works).
Problem with realease or is there something needs doing to get 281 to work? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Please post questions regarding Wrye Bash in the Wrye Bash release thread.

Did you install the required files for Wrye Bash on this system? I have them listed here next to the link to Wrye Bash: http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/walkthroughs/baininstallguide/installutilities.

Try moving the esps up or down in the load order. If that doesn't work, then check to make sure that the esps don't have the same modified date. As for Oblivion.esm being highlighted in purple, I don't think that's a problem, as it happens to me also. This should be in the official Wrye Bash thread, though.
