error instaling ttw, probably a simple fix

[bryghen1990]

  i click install and i keep getting this message "The above files were not found. Make sure your Fallout 3 location is accurate and try again.

Installation failed."

any ideas? folders for ttw, new vegas and fo3  are all in programfiles86\steam\steamapps\common\fo3goty(or)fonewvegas(or)ttw (i did not copy and paste this so it actually spells out fallout ect. so its not exact but you get the idea

nevermind, i figured it out, i had to extract the files out of the download folder and right clicked the ttw installer and run as admin, even thogh i was admin, so if your having this problem here is your solution

That is why in the install instructions it says:

1. Launch the installer .exe file by right-clicking on it and choosing "Run as Administrator".  THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.

I definitely started the program with "run as admin" (as per instructions) and ran into this issue. I closed the program and reran it again with admin rights. It fixed the issue.



Posting this in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

[quote=xnef1025] One other thing I found is you need to have run the launcher of both games once each, not just New Vegas. [/quote]

Generating the ini files is not the only thing running the launcher does. Anyone here ever heard of the windows registry? That is where things like the location of a program are logged.
