JamieSM97 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Howdy, I want to see if I can bullet point my problem to help speed this up, here it goes:>Want to install SkyUI on NMM, need to update SKSE apparently >Forgot how to install SKSE so check tutorial (Gophers), follow it up till I need to extract the file. (I don't need to install a program on Windows 8 apparently is this true?)>File in my downloads folder (goes there automatically), has a internet explorer icon and will only bring up a page to save or open both of which do nothing but make extra copies. Is this a problem with the link on the SKSE, windows 8 or something else entirely. I'd appreciate it if someone could post a link to a simple walk-through to the whole process of remedying the situation, thanks. P.S should of sticked with xbox really.

Cait833 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You should probably just download winRAR just in case - I don't know anything about Win 8, so not sure on it's extraction status. Also, why would you give up after hitting such a tiny hitch? Skyrim with mods is much more satisfying than vanilla (in my opinion), even when going for complete lore-friendliness. You just need learn a few simple procedures and you're set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSM97 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah, I used Winrar last time, but it was the trial and I'm too cheap to buy it. Honestly, mods didn't add much for me I just want an excuse to play Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Instead of winrar, get 7-zip. It's absolutely FREE, No nags, no ads, no limitations. It will handle any compressed file format you are likely to find - including rar, zip and many others. And in my opinion, it's better than winrar.And - it's available FREE right here on Nexus :biggrin: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/15579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait833 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I prefer it to 7-zip beacause it can keep the original folder structure (tried with 7-zip and it just wanted to put it into one big, messy pool :/ (Maybe I didn't set something...)) And it is free, or at least it was for the few years that I have been using it, just brings up a notice each time you open it once the 'trial period' has expired.

Jayw21 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Can't you just download the .exe file from here and bypass all the windows bs? http://skse.silverlock.org/ just click the installer option for uncompressed version.

ironbender800 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 for winrar when trial expires you can just uninstall and redownload for another free trial. you dont have to pay. I use it cause i seen most of the "expert tutorial" people using it. Ive used 7zip also and do prefer winrar. OP are you saying you cant download skse or you cant extract the files? which one? I just downloaded it in one second...no issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
