I should have mentioned in the first post that i tried that too. I just went back in and double checked everything and i found where i messed up.
where did you mess up.
I had this problem. What I found I'd done wrong was I was pointing the shortcut at the skse loader in the unzipped folder. Since that's about as clear as mud do this:
right click your desktop shortcut
choose properties
in "target" make sure the correct file path is there, for me it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\skse_loader.exe" (include the ")
SKSE can't find TESV.exe
in Skyrim LE
