FOSE Not Detected or Out of Date

So FOSE is not being detected by Fallout 3 goty (I have it on Steam), according to the Wanderers Edition mod. I know i've got the right version, and I know its in the right location and I'm launching from FOSE launcher (im not a scrub, I've used script extenders before including FOSE). For some reason its just not being detected. I even tried using v1.3 b2 which is the most current beta version. Any ideas? I cant figure out why FWE isnt detecting FOSE.

Could it be because you have Steam and Fallout 3 installed in the Program Files folder?

 

Windows User Access Control will not allow FOSE to make the necessary changes to the Fallout 3.exe, thus FWE will report that you do not have FOSE installed.

Steam is one of the few programs that recognize that Windows doesn't like you to move things out of their overprotected paranoid folder ( Program Files) and they have actually made it easy to do.

Thanks for the help, kudos to you both. Unfortunately it didnt work, still getting the error. Moved all of my steam files outside of program files as instructed above. Everything still runs fine but FOSE still isnt being detected by FWE. Tried reinstalling everything, still no luck. Can't seem to figure this out. Might it have anything to do with Windows 10? Every time I launch the game I do get warning that its not compatible with this version of windows (because the game usually requires Windows Live, which wasnt made for windows 10. Couldnt even run the game through steam until installed it. got that fixed though).

I have the exact same problem. However, I have gotten the game to run with Wanderer's Edition working, but not through Steam.

Starting the game via Steam or Nexus Mod Manager results in GFWL starting (which FOSE should disable, so you know it's not worked correctly) and the same error message you get. However, if I navigate directly to my Fallout 3 folder within steam apps/common and active the FOSE.exe from there (which I have renamed to fallout3launcher.exe) Fallout will launch without GFWL appearing, no error message once entering the game and all appears to be working as it should. You do not however, get the time logged playing in Steam.

 

I also have Steam installed in my program folder, I was going to move it, but your post makes me think this will not help.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.....
