Grognard Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Spent weeks viewing (and taking notes) MOST Youtube videos re: install/setup/tools/mods PRIOR to install. Have spent 3 days lurking on various boards trying to find a solution to this problem..... not a noob.... Just purchased SE (disc). Bought a new SSD just to house all things Skyrim. By the book install - ran it once to establish .ini and prefs. Saved .ini via ingame console. Disabled Steam updates. The first (only) thing I've DL'ed was SKSE64 2.0.6 - ran the skse launcher and got the newer game than supported error. Went to the steam console db and ran "download_depot 489830 489833 911281757511576659". I believe this is version 1.5.23 yes? Is that the version 2.0.6 supports? Anyway - got the missing app error noted in the Topic title. I've seen this error mentioned a couple/few times on boards but no replies of resolution. 'sup? Am I screwed until skse catches up? BTW I just copied the "data" folder from skse into skyrim. Would an install via MO2 be better? Thanks for any help My paticulars:OS - Win 10Skyrim Legendary EditionSkyrimSE.exe version - 1.9.32 (actually on disk it installed as TESV.exe - no problem renaming it - right?)
TheGreatFalro Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 A couple of things:1.9.32 is the latest version of the old Skyrim, AKA the Legendary Edition. The Special Edition is a separate game. From what it sounds like, you installed the old Skyrim, not the Special Edition.Next, I believe you're getting an error because A) see above, and B) Steam doesn't normally allow you to install older files, unless the developer specifically allows it - which I don't think Bethesda has.
Grognard Posted January 23, 2018 Author Posted January 23, 2018 1.9.32 is the latest version of the old Skyrim, AKA the Legendary Edition. The Special Edition is a separate gameWell raise my rent... I thought Legendary was SE (it has the 3 DLC's). Guess I am a noob. But if that's the case, why is skse64 2.0.6 telling me I have a newer version than it supports? Will skse 1.7.3 work? Again, I'm running Windows 10 64 bit.... I'll try it after this post. Steam doesn't normally allow you to install older filessteam://nav/console gets me to Steams db console (see procedure & #'s above) where lots of folks have posted success at DL'ing previous .exe versions.I think that might explain the app error however. I'm trying to DL a SkyrimSE .exe but Steam only sees I have a Skyrim .exe - actually TESV .exe - that clues me in now. Dammit - I wanted SE - thanks Amazon!!!! Thanks very much for the timely reply my friend
wfandrews Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Why is it Amazons fault that you ordered the wrong game?
IsharaMeradin Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Why is it Amazons fault that you ordered the wrong game?I would say because Amazon (just looked) does not sell the Special Edition of Skyrim for PC. They, as far as I can tell, only sell it for Xbox and PS4.
Grognard Posted January 23, 2018 Author Posted January 23, 2018 Why is it Amazons fault that you ordered the wrong game?I searched for "Skyrim SE" and the Amazon page was the first that popped up - Skyrim SE was not a choice - Legendary was - and I assumed wrongly. So yes indeed, I screwed up. I worked for an Amazon warehouse until last Thursday when I quit (with extreme prejudice) so please forgive me for venting - kind sir.....
wfandrews Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 No problem Grognard, I worked as a temp for Amazon over the winter holiday season for three years, thus understand where you are coming from.
