Nexus Mod Manager Help PLZ!

[EPICOREOz]

Hey guys so I need some help with my Nexus Mod Manager. Im trying to install mods for Fallout 3 GOTY but it brings up " Unable to get write permissions for C:/Program Files (x86)/ Bethesda Softworks/ Fallout 3"

I have deleted fallout 3 and bethesda softworks from my PC and reinstalled fallout 3 goty via steam and it still doesnt work. My first install of Fallout 3 was via DISC (CD). Then once I thought i had deleted all the old files I downloaded Fallout 3 GOTY via steam.

 

I tried running NMM in admin mode and it still doesnt work.

Can anyone help me on this???

Looks like you lack some permissions to access your program files. Try a rescan of NMM so it can locate the new Fallout 3 install in the Steam folders.

I have tried doing that. I think the problem is that i downloaded Fallout 3 via cd disc and it made some files then i went and got it thru steam and NMM wont scan properly

You can indicate the location manually in NMM.

1. First try right click run as admin.

2. (if win 8 ) on the NMM icon go to properties, then click on the tab "security" there you should see a list of user groups, highlight each user and press on edit, this should bring up the next menu with a whole bunch of check boxes, you want to check the one "Full control" and then apply, do this to each user. Then try running it.

I am not going to say it will fix it but that was how I got it running when I first had this problem.
