NIFskope + Vista = Fail

So, I've been attempting some texture-y stuff, but I have a teensy problem: I can't get NIFSkope to work on my computer. >:( Every time I try to install it, it says that NifSkope.exe has stopped working, then that "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application." Then it says NifSkope.exe has stopped working again.

 

Is this because I'm attempting to run it on 64-bit Vista? I thought I found it for Vista 64, but it used a compression format that is either a RealPlayer file or used by Linux. :wallbash: So, is there a version of NifSkope for Vista 64? :sweat: Any help is enormously appreciated. :thanks:

 

Edit: Gah, I totally meant to post this in Mods General. My bad. o.o

I'm on 32-bit.. BUT I did have problems running NifScope at first.. Make sure you have the latest version and double check because a lot of the links you find about NifScope are outdated. Also make sure you have permission to write to the programs folder.. Vista is stupid about this and makes a virtual folder in "appdata" under your user account instead of actually installing into the programs folder, which will cause the program to not work. This is the kind of crap that makes Vista blow.

 

I don't know anything about NifScope running on 64-bit, but these are problems I had..

I got NifSkope 1.0.9 from the download at SourceForge off the NifTools site. I checked the virtual store and didn't find anything from NifSkope there, and I have UAC turned off and full administrator privileges. I am getting ever-so-slightly pissed at Microsoft for being apparently unable to make an OS that is compatible with anything, even their own previous OSes (or itself). Dear Microsoft, please send me Windows XP with all service packs and a $200 check to apologize for all the time I've spent trying to make programs that should have no compatibility problems at all work on Vista...

Does anyone know if there is a release of NifSkope specifically for Vista?

 

Also, moderators, could you be kind enough to move this to the right forum? :) Thanks.

I believe the latest version is somewhere about 1.0.20...

the sorting is quite weird, it goes from 1.0.1>1.0.10>1.0.11>....1.0.4

so go try to get the 1.0.20 or higher to see if it works

Nifskope 1.0.20 from Sourceforge.net
