Firstly, every time that I try to install a new mod this is the error message that I get: "There was an error registering this mod: Unified HUD Project - Unified HUD Project v1_9

Error: Access to the path 'E:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout3\Mods\ReadMe\ReadMeManager.xml' is denied". Secondly, when I try to activate that specific mod despite the error message, NMM crashes and leaves me with a Trace Log.

 

Last part of Trace Log:

 

 Tracing an Unhandled Exception:

Exception: 

Message: 

Problem whilst committing Install Log.

And I've already tried adding that specific folder which is not being authorized to my eceptions list on Norton, but the problem still persists. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling NMM, still the problem persists. So how do I fix this?

Error: Access to the path 'E:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout3\Mods\ReadMe\ReadMeManager.xml' is denied"

Something on your computer - most likely Windows UAC is blocking you from making changes to. or possibly even looking at that folder.

1. Make sure you have ownership of that folder in Windows ( google it)

2. Make sure you are running as an admninistrator

3. Make sure you have admin privileges over that folder ( not the same thing as being the admin)

Yup. I changed the ownership, gave myself full rights to that folder and... problem fixed. Thank you! I was this close to giving up on modding my Fallout 3 game.
