NVSE error, "Couldn't find FalloutNV.exe"

I downloaded all the .dll files into my Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FalloutNewVegas\ and tried to run it and a black screen comes up saying, "Couldn't find FalloutNV.exe". I looked all around the internet and it was people just placing it wrong, I even followed a video tutorial. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?



I don't know if this helps but I have 4gb New Vegas and FOMM.

I can not tell you how many people have problems in the UAC protected Directory (since Vista) this has been a pain in the rear.

 

Google moving Steam. Yes even if you have UAC turned OFF it will still silently mess with you. I was one of the People way back, that insisted (Ohh I can Mod my Game I have UAC off ) but then i was shown how wrong i was...lol

 

I finally gave in, and Steam is now installed ...e:\Games\Steam....... Best move I ever did.

User Actually Cant do crap to their own Files, is how most feel.

 

UAC= User Account Control

 

Google is really a powerful tool, i only typed "UAC" and this was the first link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control

 

Don't think along the lines of messing with UAC. Just move Steam out of the reach of UAC.

 

IF steam is installed to ...c:\Games\Steam then UAC will not play a factor, ever again for Steam.

 

Like i said before .....

 

How to move Steam

 

The first hit is a "/support.steampowered" link, Be sure to read that page in full . That is the page i used to move my steam install. Do what it says.
