Wrye Bash not detecting archives for installers?


Recommended Posts

Ok I'm not an expert is this things but it could be because(um you probably know all this already, it's very basic): 1) It's not a format WB can handle. If you see it greyed out in the installers tab, try opening the actual file from the Bash folder. Usually extracting it as a simple (not compressed) folder fixes this. 2)I assume you have Python installed... I hope that helps, otherwise you need someone more competent to help you :huh:

Isn't .7z a format WB can handle? Also, I have Python installed.

 

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my mega late one.

Yes it can handle 7zip. It's just that sometimes it needs to be extracted, and sometimes extracted even from the first folder. Why, is a mystery to me. Try exctracting the file from the 7zip and if that doesn't work, extract the content from that file.( It should come compiled inside a folder). Don't put separate/scattered files in Bash Installers folder.

 

Although now that I look at my own Installers folder, I realize that most of the mods that need to be extracted are either armour/clothing or simple tweaks. I doubt this may be of any help for you installing something fat as OBGE. :mellow:

I'm trying to install OBGE using Wrye Bash but when I put the archive in the Bash Installers folder it doesn't show up.

 

Any help?

Are you trying to install OBGEv3? The core, the regular version? It's not even showing up gray in your installers folder? Make sure you actually placed the archive in there. Right-click on the Installers tab (or 'File' header, I forget which one) and choose 'Open...'. See if it's in that folder. Bash can install OBGEv3 now.

Yes, not even showing up in gray, right clicking then opening leads me to where I put my .7z file. Trying to install OBGEv3 core.

 

Any idea what the problem is?

 

I'm playing through steam and my Oblivion Mods folder is in the "common" folder, is that right?

Where do you have Steam installed? Do you perhaps have it stalled in the default folder? I'm wondering if the UAC is interfering with Bash's ability to manipulate that folder.

Yes I have installed in it's default folder and I do have UAC completely turned off.
