Arxa Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I've reinstalled MW after many years, being stuck at home because of you-know-what. I made a plug in that changes a few values such as gem prices.However, it's not showing up in Data files. It shouldn't be dependent on anything but the MW.ESM but if I did change something that depended on T or BMcan I just add the others as dependencies to cover myself?
Dragon32 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 If you installed Morrowind into Program Files (x86) you could be running into folder virtualisation issues.
Arxa Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 Yes, I just learned about that issue on the WIKI. I guess I must rip the x86 install out?
Arxa Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 OK, next problem. MW defaults to the x86 and can't be changed. I presume there's a work around?
Arxa Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 My media is so old, I still have my MW disk from 2002. That, and the GOTY I bought from Best Buy in like 2004. Beth itself says you can change the install location. When was that option added?I presume my problems with the CS are due to WIN10.

I was able to select an install location, although it's years since I actually ran the thing. If by CS problems you mean this saving of the plugin then folder virtualisation was introduced with Vista, IIRC.
Arxa Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 People are obviously still making mods. Is there a work around for this folder virtualization?
Dragon32 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Apart from re-installing outside of Program Files (x86)? You could try manually moving the install folder, then using Regedit to update the Registry entries for Morrowind.
Arxa Posted April 22, 2020 Author Posted April 22, 2020 I did half of that. I pulled the MW folder out and moved it to the C root. Runs fine. I'll try doing the Regedit thing.
