Failed mod installations. "Root element error."

Recommended Posts

I fail to install many mods.

 

I keep getting the same error:

 

"A problem occurred during install. The root element of W3C XLM Schema should be <schema> and its namespace should be "https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". The mod was not installed. "

 

This has happened with Interior Lighting Overhaul, EVE essential Visual Enhancements, and 4GB Fallout New Vegas Update.

 

Please help.

What are you using to install these mods? Did it ever work correctly for you before? If this is recent, what changed?

 

That error should only appear related to XML files. The "XML Schema" is implemented internally to the game. It's not something you (or the mod) should be addressing directly as indicated by that message. Take a look at any of the vanilla XML files as examples.

 

As for the 4GB Patch mod, you should be using "this one" as indicated on the "Updated" version page. All the other versions are deprecated.

 

To the best of my knowledge the 4GB Patch has no XML files (nor any reason to do so), so that error is probable an "unknown, best guess" rather than an accurate error message. Please see the "Windows Error Messages" section of the wiki "How to read most Bethesda game error logs" article to see if there is an Eventlog message with more relevant information.

 

To those responding "same here": Unless you know for a fact you have the exact same hardware and setup as the OP (and unless you are installing the exact same mods as mentioned using the same technique: the differences are important information), that response is worse than useless: it's just spam. Please provide ALL the information requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article. Don't forget to identify things that do not appear in the "load order", such as NVSE and it's related plugins, texture replacements (specifically their larger image sizes: 1024x1024, etc.), and "post-processors" like ENB or SweetFX. Details matter. An identical symptom does not equal an identical cause.

Hello, you're getting the error due to a bug in the Nexus Mod Manager version 0.65.2 release, specifically an installation issue with some XML script installers that are included in the mods, like EVE. For future NMM installations please refer to Github instead as its more reliable.

 

Here's the latest release which should fix your issue. https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases/

 

Simply install as you would any other version of the Nexus Mod Manager and your the mod installations should work fine. I had the same issue but it was fixed after downloading the 0.65.4 release.

Thank you so much fatpebble! Updating Nexus Mod Manager from the github website resolved all of my issues. The mods work perfectly now and I no longer get the error messages >D

When such problems occur, it's often useful to simply remove the "tail" of the link back to the last "/". In this instance:

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases/

works. (There were some "non-printing" characters on the end of the posted link, breaking it.) So does:

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/

which gets you to the parent page.
