Trunksmad Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hey, So I downloaded the mod manager. Had it run and let it do its scanning. Stopped it on other stuff I dont have on here. So when I tried to run it on skyrim, I get this error pop up saying, Unable to get write permissions for: skyrim/install.info
TheFourthHorse Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 - What version are you running? - Where is it installed?

legend8804 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Are you running NMM in administrator mode? Sounds to me that could possibly be your issue. It could also have something to do with where Skyrim is installed as well - Win7 is notoriously finicky about that. Possible solutions: Right-click your NMM Icon, click "Run as Administrator". That *should* eliminate any write permission errors. Alternatively: Your phrasing is rather strange, almost sounding as though you already has Skyrim running when you tried to run NMM? Because that would definitely cause it to not work properly. It might also help if you tell us where Skyrim is installed on your drive. With Vista and Win7, some directories are more difficult to apply changes to than others (for example, if you installed it to your Program Files or Program Files (x86), that can also cause issues...). Let me know if any of this helps.
