Rainwalker Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 So I run Vortex on my main gaming pc (windows 10), and really love it. So I decided to also install it on my older backup gaming pc (windows 7) to replace NMM and run older games like FO3 & FONV. So I downloaded Vortex to my older win 7 pc, but the vortex file has an extension of .182, and double clicking on it only gets a pop saying windows doesn't know how to open it. Never had that problem on my windows 10 pc, I just double clicked it and it installed. Am I missing something here, or do I need a 3rd party program to install vortex in windows 7? Thank-you.

My AV (Trend Micro) recently did a big update on my older pc, and it tends to be over protective if I don't go in and change some settings. That solves it.
