JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It appeared to be functioning perfectly last night with this new computer that I got yesterday. However when I tried to start everything up today, I got the attached error message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happened. What can I do? A good chunk of the reason that I bought this new computer is so I could play modded Skyrim again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is it possible that my antivirus is blocking these files? Maybe I should just tell it not to mess with Vortex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yes, also, it'd be a good idea to pause or stop your virus protection and reinstall Vortex, right over the top of itself, there may have been files that weren't allowed to 'write' during install.Also, check if you're running Windows Defender, and if you are, turn off "Controlled Folder Access" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I saw an older post from you assisting someone with the same issue so I tried disabling Windows Defender and adding the folder to the exclusions. I've also tried both uninstalling and re-installing as well as just installing the program on top of itself without uninstalling. Nothing seems to work. Is there something I'm missing? Is there perhaps a way that I can manually add the missing files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Something on your system is blocking those files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is there something that I could run in the command prompt or something to take a look and perhaps see exactly what's going on when the installer is running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are you installing it as an administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are you installing it as an administrator?Yes. I'm using procmon.exe right now to take a look at what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution JetKusanagi Posted May 23, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted May 23, 2020 Okay, so I found out that I WASN'T running things as the administrator. I thought that just having the only account on the network made me the administrator but as it turns out that there's the secret administrator hidden in the system. I activated that and installed it and everything works. Vortex even still sees the mods that I installed before all of this. To anyone that has problems similar to me, I'll just say to find out how to activate the REAL admin account on your PC. Thanks for your help HadToRegister!
