Cannot detect fallout 3's folder

Hello, i have been having some issues with the archiveinvalidation invalidated recently. It seems that when ever i try to run the program, i get an error message saying "Cannot detect Fallout 3's folder! Please select Fallout 3's folder". I have navigated to C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3 and selected that and also C:/Documents and Settings/Tim/My Documents/My Games/Fallout3 and for both of them i get an error message saying "This is not Fallout 3's folder". Is there another folder i should be selecting or is there another issue that is causing a problem, any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like you have a register problem. Normally that program would find the correct install folder MAINLY if it was installed at the default path (I suppose you are on XP from the few information given, if was Vista or Seven, being installed in Program Files would be the cause for the problem).

 

A few other possibilities are:

 

Someway you lost access rights to the install folder;

The executable became corrupt (Fallout3.exe, not the mod).

 

If none the above you'll need to provide more detailed information about your installation environment so a more precise diagnosis can be done.
