FNIS troubleshooting

[johnsmith]

I'm trying to update FNIS Behavior in mod organizer, but I keep getting this directory error no matter what I try. Any advice? Thanks!

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Okay I will go ahead and reinstall MO, the game, and all tools to a folder on my desktop and then try to run it with all things enabled. I will post the results.

 

To save my mods I was just going to move MO to the desktop first, then reinstall skyrim to my desktop, then install MO, then move MO to the skyrim folder, then cut/copy the mods and downloads from the old MO folder to their appropriate folders in the fresh MO folder. I will setup FNIS and all the other tools as an executable and then run it to see how this works.

Alright everything is running from my desktop. The bad news is that when I run FNIS I am still getting the same error.

 

"ERROR(5): The directory name is invalid."

 

I went ahead and disabled UAC in Vista and I still get this error. Again both MO and FNIS are set to run as admin. Ask me anything, Im going to keep troubleshooting.

Still no luck on troubleshooting. I have tried to install skyrim back into steam and I have unchecked every mod in MO except FNIS and everything is running as admin and I still get this error.

 

I think maybe I could try using an older version of FNIS if Vista is unsupported or something. I already an using an older version of MO (the last one that works for Vista which is legacy version 6.194). My FNIS is version 7.4.5 but I am seeing older versions like 5.5 work for people in other threads. Dunno where I can get those files except from Fore himself. Might have to reach out to him if this is what is needed. Let me know if you have any ideas.
