Colleenfrances Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 A handful of mods have been giving me problems. I don't want to install them manually because it's a pain in the ass to uninstall them later. I'm getting this error: Armorsmith Extended v3.2-2228-3-2 // A problem occurred during install:Access to the path 'C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Fallout4\Mods\cache\Armorsmith Extended v3.2-2228-3-2\Armorsmith Extended v3.2\fomod\info.xml' is denied.The mod was not installed. // Install // What do I need to do to fix it?

damanding Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Try running NMM as administrator. For some reason it doesn't have permissions to access the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSharp206 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'm having the same problem somewhat frequently ... running as admin doesn't help. the file structure is there but the info.xml isn't there. I noticed it was set to read only (but so is everything else in the mods cache) I tried unchecking the read-only box, but still no luck. I guess I'll try manual install now.

Colleenfrances Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Try running NMM as administrator. For some reason it doesn't have permissions to access the file. Tried that and didn't work. Also made sure I was logged in. Also weird since I don't think the files I tried to install have fmod info files in them.

JSharp206 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I found a solution - tho it likely has drawbacks - especially if there is anything crucial that needs to be stored there. after attempting an install and failing due to not being able to access the info.xml, go to the location where the info.xml file was supposed to be ... make a new folder and name it info.xml ... and attempt the install again. to my suprise it worked... no drawbacks as of yet, and the mod is working fine ... for now at least. ^_^ It's a quick "fix" till we find out how to do it right. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
