Skyrim Vr Extension failed to load

[ghostjs]

I had switched from modding Skyrim vr to play a different game for a while, and I just tried to switch back to skyrim and it is not showing up in the games list. I checked the extensions tab and there are 2 extensions listed as both failed to load. Game: Skyrim VR and Game: Baldur's Gate 3

Im using Vortex 1.9.12

I have tried updating c++ redistribute, and have tried disabling and enabling the extensions.

Did you install the right version, as discussed in this solution? 

 

[ghostjs]

yes I used x64 version

[Pickysaurus]

If you double-click one of the failed extensions it will open a side panel which should include details on why it failed. What does it say there? 

I can't think of anything "special" Skyrim VR is doing off hand that would cause it to fail.

Failed to load: Cannot find module 'exe-version'
Require stack:

That's weird because "exe-version" is used by a load of parts of the app. This smells of a security app deleting important files or blocking Vortex from accessing them. 

 

Have you tried reinstalling Vortex over the top of what you have installed? 

Failing that, try going to %appdata%\Vortex\plugins\ and delete the folders called something like "Vortex Extension Update - Skyrim VR v1.0.3" and "Vortex Extension Update - Baldur's Gate 3 v1.3.12"

Alright, I tried deleting those 2 folders and reinstalling Vortex with my antivirus off, and the first time it loads i get this error.

Okay finally got it working, 

I had to uninstall vortex, delete the 2 files Pickysaurus mentioned in appdata\vortex\plugins\

as well as the same 2 files in \roaming\ vortex\ on the drive where vortex is installed

Then reinstall vortex, and activate Skyrim vr in the games section.

After that everything was back, just had to enable all the plugins again and deploy.

 

Update - Ok so it seems this is a band aide since it seems I have to do this everytime i restart my computer.

Edit: with the latest update of Vortex these errors seems to have been fixed! Thanks a lot!!

 

I've been getting the exact same error messages regarding Game: Skyrim VR and Game: Baldur's Gate 3 for a while ("failed to install the extension from Github) which is really weird since I've been using Vortex since 2019 and its been working just fine up until recently.  Also, I have never installed or played these games so I don't have these flies in the "appdata/romaing/vortex" or "appdata/vortex"-directories ... Here is the error-log for Baldurs gate 3 extension (sorry, couldnt find a "spoiler-tag"):
