vermillionplauge Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Firstly my system specs are above and beyond for the game even at its highest setting with modifications such as beautiful people and hi resolution textures and it didnt seem to slow an inch secondly it is not a hacked version of the game thirdly i tried the following solutionsbbens wonderful guide(even though it didn't work it was still well thought out and carefully constructed)registry cleaningdeep system hunting for any and all things Bethesda and oblivion relatedinstalling outside defaultusing install as admin while adminvarious other online solutions which are more or less the same as above *fourhtly this is the error i get "Feature transfer error Access is Denied"* the one thing i haven't tried yet is a complete system wipe out which i wont do as i have lots of games and important stuff i need so unless i get infected with a catastrophic system failure this option will never be used.\ the main reason i think i have trouble reinstalling is A(99.9% certain):i deleted data folder stupidly B(.2% certain) it was over modded unlikely C(unrealistic %): the all system itself rejects the idea of having oblivion on it despite morrowind and skyrim working on it. so if anyoen has ever had trouble like mine and managed to get it to work with out the "Dreaded Final Resort" option can you please explain to me how pretty please and tyhank you for replying if you do.

Striker879 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What exactly is the problem? When you try to re-install what are the error messages, if any? Before you ran through Bben46's tutorial was the old install acting up and if so how? I can't see why deleting your Data folder would prevent re-installing if you were able to get the uninstall to run. Have a look in your Control Panel list of installed apps and see if Oblivion is still showing up there ... if it's not then uninstall must have worked. Having a ton of mods in your old install shouldn't affect whether or not you can re-install. I have no idea what your are referring to with this:C(unrealistic %): the all system itself rejects the idea of having no 4 on it despite 3 and 5 working on it.What are no. 4, 3 and 5 referring to?

Striker879 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You already said you are trying to install using an administer account so I don't see that being an issue. When I'm installing a game I usually change my everyday account to an administrator account temporarily while doing the install and first run rather than trying to install in my regular account from the administrator account. Do you use more than one account similar to what I'm describing (i.e. an regular non-administrator account for everyday use and a separate administrator account for administrative tasks)?

Striker879 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 So when you say "using install as admin while admin" you are changing your standard user account to an administrator account, installing the game and then trying to get it to start, correct (assuming you wish to run the game under your standard account)? Also what operating system are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I would suspect a permission for a folder is set to read only. Set the permissions to give admin access and take control of them.if no access is specifically granted or denied, then the user is denied access. Here is a write up on folder permissions: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 hmmm never thought of that bben another reaso to disliek windows :P despite it being a nice os. when i get around to ti ill see fi it works if not ill post back here bwt what folders specificly? or would changing the programfiles(x86)/program files and normal windows folder change everything in them? Don't install to program files. Create a new folder C:\Games\Oblivion, and install the game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
