FOMM crashing

[wabbawabbajack]

Been having issues with FOMM for a couple of days now. My PC crashed when I was installing a mod and whenever I run the mod manager for New Vegas (F3 is fine) it crashes on me. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, still having the same issue. Here's the crash dump.

 

Thanks

Try opening the Install Log from that directory and deleting the entries for the mod you were trying to install. Then go up a directory and into the Mods folder and delete the FOMM package of the file you were installing.

 

Make backups of both files in case it doesn't work or makes it worse.

This is weird but the install log seems to be empty. I've opened it with notepad and word and there's no data in there. When I tried to open it with firefox and chrome I get an error stating the same. Should I uninstall/reinstall the entire game?

Does the filesize show it's empty as well? (Mine is about 950kb)

 

Just delete the file (or restore one of the backup files if you have one in the folder) and see if it creates a new one.

That trick did it. Thank you very much :)
