C->programfiles->steam->steamapps->appmanifest377160.acf  right click, set as "read only"

CORRECTION: This should be common knowledge but somehow it is not. This is the default install location and if you find the file you are looking for here then you need to move STEAM to the root.

C:/steam/steamapps/appmanifest377160.acf 

The reason for this is that our mod managers, our editors(both official an unofficial) and F4SE need to write directly to the game folder at runtime and Windows UAC will interfere with this function covertly by reverting changes to existing files or moving new files to another location WITHOUT any notification of doing so. Some people report not having issues installing in the program files folder but I suspect it is because they have disabled UAC and that is inadvisable in this always online world of modern gaming.
