Mod instillation issue on vortex

[CarlFromIndonesia]

 

testin a pre released version of the fallout 4 mod annex the commonwealth and heres the link to it Annex The Commonwealth at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

anyway I did the instillation of the mod via vortex but it didn't work as it is displayed in the screenshot

since it puts the02 - Replacement Vanilla Workshop Borders\Meshes\Workshop into Data when it shouldn't be so

the author of the mod said if you want the copy of the xml file jus PM him

The Mod Author needs to fix the XML in their installer, I ran into the same issue with another mod and was able to contact the mod author, it turns out that Vortex is VERY Strict with it's XML handling

As the mod author I can tell you the issue isn't the xml, it's Vortex - it's looking for the wrong element names. He already brought the issue up to me, I told him to post it here because it's strictly a Vortex issue. MO2 handles it correctly, the FOMOD Creation Tool actually wrote the XML (so it's machine generated). The issue is definitely Vortex.

you may want to send this feedback to the vortex devs as they may not see this. three dots, top right.

That's a misnomer, MO2 doesn't handle it correctly. In fact the reason it works in MO2 is because MO2 handled FOMODs incorrectly (I'm not just saying it either, Tannin explained this to me).

i thought that was a bit suss. i took a quick look at the xml in question before work and it didn't sit well with me. glad to see that it's been identified.

fwiw, it turns out there were two minor deviations in the xml from the schema however, neither of which was what Vortex complained about and what Vortex complained about wasn't an issue or incorrect at all. Anyway, fixing the two actual deviations stopped Vortex from throwing the incorrect error.
