Plugins tab missing, Gamebryo Plugin Management extension Failed

[dferstat]

Main points:

1) On startup, I get error an message advising that a Gamebryo Plugin Management extension could not be found.

21) When I dismiss this, I see that my plugins tab is missing.

 

Background:

I wanted to retrieve a Fallout 4 character I'd not played for four years from an old laptop, and transfer it to my PC. Opening up Vortex, I got an error message advising that a module had failed to load. I then told Vortex to update itself, only for Vortex to tell me that it was too old to do so.

I then went to the Vortex download page, and downloaded both the latest Vortex installer and the Microsoft  .NET 6.0+ installer. I then installed both.

Running Vortex again, I got the same error message:

Spoiler

Extension failed to load

An unexpected error occurred while Vortex was loading extensions:

The specified module could not be found. \\?

d:\gametools\Vortex\resources\app.asar.unpacked\bundledPlugins\gamebryo-plugin-management\node-loot.node

The message then suggests:

Wait and try again

Re-install Vortex

Re-install Microsoft runtimes

Disable Anti-virus software.

Repeated re-starts of Vortex have made no difference.

As noted above, both Vortex and Microsoft runtimes are freshly installed.

Disabling anti-virus software had no effect.

The error has even survived a Windows re-boot.

 

When I examine the Extensions list, I see that the Gamebryo Plugin Management is shown as Failed. The pull-down menu for the status shows me the options of Enabled or Disabled, but I can't set it to Enabled.

I note that the allegedly missing missing file (node-loot.node) is, in fact, present in the correct directory. According to Windows File Properties, it has exactly the same size and last modified date as the one on my PC.

 

The most recent diagnostic file (obtained from the menu at top right of the screen, is here:

I believe there should be a folder with that name ("Gamebryo Plugin Management") in the AppData folders somewhere.  Advice usually is to delete it and allow Vortex to replace it with a fresh copy.

[dferstat]

If you mean an AppData folder on my C:\ , there's nothing for Gamebryo.

[Pickysaurus]

Please see the pinned solutions thread. It's covered there: 

 

[dferstat]

I have already read that section.

However, if you read my post, you'll see that I've already tried the four suggested solutions, none of which have worked.

[Pickysaurus]

It's 99% a broken C++ install. Make sure you're downloading the correct version. Users often make that mistake. That's almost always the cause of these two errors:

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:43:30 GMT - warn: couldn't initialize extension name=Mount and Blade II Bannerlord support-90-0-1-1-1585574611, err=Cannot find module 'libxmljs'
Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:43:30 GMT - warn: couldn't initialize extension name=gamebryo-plugin-management, err=The specified module could not be found.

 

I would also suggest you try reinstalling Vortex on C:\ - the other possible issue is that your D:\ is set up in some kind borked way that prevents Vortex from talking to the required C++ DLLs which live on C:\

[dferstat]

Well, I downloaded the install from a link on the Nexus Vortex pages.

I'll try uninstalling, and then reinstalling Vortex, but that's going to have to wait until I know that I've rescued my toon.
