yarddogg77 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 How can I set permissions to let zMerge past all of Vortex firewalls to allow extraction of assets in order to build BSA's? I tried repeatedly and couldn't get zMerge to spit out the assets or a BSA when building merges. So I put a dummy Skyrim game on my desk top, pointed zMerge at it for the location of the plugins, and bam, it worked perfectly. I'm starting to wonder why Vortex is set to be so intrusive, when it doesn't even remove loose files when a mod is isntalled. I'm not saying any other mod installer has ever done this in the past, but if every single folder is stamped with Managed by Vortes, then you'd think there would be a benefit to it. I can't see any. It just makes for a whole lot of clean up and tools not working as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 First, don't run Vortex in Administrator mode, and don't run Zmerge in Administrator mode, then you shouldn't need permissions or 'evlevation' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadToRegister Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 What is evlevation? That's when you're running one program as an administator and not the other program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddogg77 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 I ended up finding a shell command to reset all my pc files back to original permissions. It worked. Now the BSA are built. Thanks. I was thinking in terms of Wrye Bash. I really like the new SSeEdit and Zedit now, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
