F04: Mod Installation Always Fails

[feelthedarkness]

For Fallout 4 I'm trying to run widescreen mod, and unofficial patch. Nothing fancy.

So I've installed Vortex, and the F4S3, which installed just fine. I used the installed, but whenever I try to install the mods I get "Installation failed."

 

The error message is "Windows prevented Vortex from loading files necessary to complete the installation. This is often caused if you extracted Vortex manually instead of running the installer." (I didn't install manually.)

 

File name: 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=6.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

at ModInstallerIPC.Program.Main(String[] args)

 

I navigated to the folder and set the permissions to allow "modify, read, read & execute, write" but that doesn't change anything.

 

Any advice?

Checked the pinned solutions thread and look at the .NET 6 solution. It may help you here.

That worked! Thanks!

Where is pinned solutions thread?

[showler]

It's the pinned thread at the top of this forum that says something about "solutions".

I am, admittedly, not the brightest candle on the cake (and english isn´t my native tongue, either), so I don´t know,

what the solution tells me:

 

- "double-check task manager..." so I open the task manager and do exactly what?

 

- "Head to the "%appdata%\Vortex\state.v2" folder and delete the file called "LOCK"." Well, I searched the bloody thing

and can´t find it anywhere

 

every hint would be very appreciated, thanks

 

OOPS! Eegit-me looked at the wrong solution, sry!

Got it right now and it works

I'm still having this problem and the "solution" at the top continues to redirect me to this thread in which I still cannot find the solution. Anyone have a fix?
