A problem occurred during install

Hey Nexus folks. Having a bit of a problem here. But please read the whole thing before responding with the first instinct. I tried that already.

 

So as the title says, I am getting the "A problem occurred during install" issue. This is presently for Skyrim right now. A fresh, clean install of skyrim, I should note.

 

I have tried to manually download with seemingly no issue. I load that file up to NMM. Also in administrator. Yet it keeps posting this error.

 

Right now the main mod that is giving me issue is this

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D71214%26preview%3D&pUp=1

 

Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition patch. I have SkyUI and MCM up without issue. I realize this may be a USLEP issue but it is a decently large mod. So I fear it may be some issue with large mods.

 

EDIT: This seems to extend to larger mods. Immersive weapons is failing. I only seem to have issues with the Nexus servers as I have downloaded quite a number of other things recently without these sorts of problems. I am presently troubleshooting as best I can. Did Ram test and all was fine.

 

Any ideas of what it could be? If I posted this in the wrong area, sorry!

Are you sure you're waiting long enough, until the install is complete? Some large files can take up to 20 minutes to get installed through NMM...

 

For the rest, corrupted/incomplete downloads is the only other thing that springs to mind for the time being...

Yeah. I waited long enough. It says this exactly:

 

"A problem occurred during install:

Could not extract files! Message: File is corrupted. Data error has occured.

The mod was not installed."

 

Lists this message in the little red icon in the mod activation queue tray.

Either you have a serious problem with your internet connection, or there's something (like an anti-virus) which prevents mods from downloading completely or gets rid of parts of mods after they've downloaded.

 

Another possibility is a hard drive with bad sectors. When a hard drive has bad sectors, a lot of files have parts that can no longer be read properly, giving errors. If you've got the space, move NMM's folder to a separate disk. By the way, re-installing NMM doesn't do away with your mods as NMM keeps the mods in a separate folder.

 

If you want to make sure to keep your mods, just back-up everything from inside NMM's 'Skyrim/Mods' folder (i.e; drag and copy the lot to a new folder somewhere).

Thanks for the input and ideas. I have turn off all anti virus and firewall and attempted again. Still giving me the issue.

 

I am worried now, about the bad sectors. Slightly unrelated, but it may be a sign. I was trying to install ESO, kept denying me and saying "Please select another location to extract the installer to."

 

It just wouldn't recognize any of my locations to install. Anywhere. Not sure if that is something else entirely, like download corrupted, or that my harddrive is indeed messed up in some way. Initial thoughts? If that could be it I guess I'll see about fixing that directly.

No errors. I did, however, browse other sites for mods. Skyrim, of course. Downloaded several. Several large in size as well. They all worked installed via NMM without issue.

 

So the issue seems to be my downloading from the Nexus servers then. Which my Firewall, (which presently doesn't exist) is blocking it. My anti virus (which also doesn't exist) is blocking it as well.

 

Really I can't possibly imagine what could be hindering my ability to download from Nexus servers. :C

Can't think of anything else, really...

 

Maybe try another browser for Nexus? I've had issues with FireFox on other sites after updates (bank transactions, Formula1 Live Timing, etc) and switched to Chrome for those sites. Never had issues on Nexus using FireFox and am using both the latter and Chrome here.
