Problem with BSAOpt... maybe?

New problem: 'TaleofTwoWastelands - main.bsa failed to patch properly.'

I've tried the usual: fresh Fallout 3 installation, patches, DLC, run as admin, short file paths, different paths.

I'm still running on Windows XP 32-bit, with recent updates for .NET and C++.

Here is the TTW install log:

It is probably because you are using the experimental BSAOpt which builds just slightly differently than the one bundled with the installer. So when it tries to patch, it can't find any way to patch your version. Unfortunately it's a bit of a catch 22.
