Rabbit1251 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I am rebuilding my Oblivion game onto a new machine and using Oblivion Mod Manager to install most all of my old mods to the game, but when the mod is compressed using 7-zip OBMM refuses to open the file saying that I need to have a full install of OBMM to work. I only remember being given one install option when I loaded the Mod Manager at the time. Can anyone please tell me what it is that I am missing and what it is that I need to do to correct this? I'm offering $1,000 in gold or a kudo, random chance, for any help. Thank you. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBudreck Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 7z is a compression program like WinZip or WinRar. Look on the internet for a link, then download and install. WinRar can also uncompress 7z files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thank you, David. I do have and use 7-zip, but is there a way to get OBMM to recognize that file extension for creating OMOD installation files? Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBudreck Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I don't use OBMM, so I would have to defer to somebody that is familiar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbitdid you use the self installing version of OBMM,if not get it and use that.I have no problems with OBMM and zip files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks again, David, for giving it a shot for me. I appreciate the help. Dezdimona, I'm pretty sure that I used the self-installer version and to be sure I reinstalled OBMM with the self-installed version yet again a little while ago and it still will not create an OMOD based on 7-zip compression. It still says that I need a full install for that. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit1251 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Windows 7. Everything is installed to the C:/ directory and OBMM works fine on all the other compression files that I've used it on. It just will not do 7-zip. I just tried it again with a 7z file whose instructions told me what to do and all I got was the "Full Install" warning again. I'm thoroughly perplexed.

xaliqen Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm currently experiencing the same issue with OBMMEx. I'm also using Windows 7. Did anyone find a solution to this one? OBMM worked fine in the past for me. EDIT:Here's the solution: Go to the 7zip page on Sourceforge. You should see a file labeled 7za*.zip (* represents the current number and is currently labeled 7za915.zip) Download this file and extract the contents into your OBMM directory: */oblivion/obmm/ Close and restart OBMM or OBMMEx if you have them open, just to be sure. Everything should now work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
