Cannot install FOMODs in FNV Mod Organizer 1.3.3

[wario44]

I have no idea what changed but suddenly I cannot instal FOMODs in Mod Organizer.  It goes straight to the manual install as if it was a normal archive instead of having the .fomod extension.  I installed version 1.3.3 of MO over 1.2.18 in hopes it would be fixed but no luck.

Don't extract the .fomod from the archive. It should default to the external installer and work fine that way. Using the .fomod will throw it for a loop.

[wario44]

nope that didn't work.  still opens as a normal mod.

You needs to see if the external and internal installer are active. Go to the settings and look under the plugins tab.

@wario44

If you are seeing that file open as a manual install then there is something amiss with your MO installation. No matter which setting you have for your plugins, internal or external fomod installer, that file always shows in my MO 1.3.3 install with its fomod scripted install.

 

Can I assume you updated to 1.3.3 over an existing 1.2.18?

If that is true you may need to do a bit of cleaning. There could be some remants of the previous install conflicting, though @Tannin did make the new installer clean out that stuff first.

 

At any rate, grab the latest MO full install archive, not the installer, and open it in your archive manager.

Open an explorer window with the MO installation.

Delete every folder and file that exists in the MO install AND in the MO archive. This is to ensure no leftovers from a previous install.

 

The files/folders that you should be removing are:

NCC

platforms

dlls

plugins

loot

stylesheets

tutorials

translations

license

nxmhandler.exe

helper.exe

hook.dll

ModOrganizer.exe

uibase.dll

msvcr120.dll

msvcp120.dll

python27.zip

python27.dll

 

Everything else is either a setting you have made or the downloads, mods, profiles folders with your files in them.

 

Copy all the contents of the MO Full install archive and the result will be a pristine 1.3.3 MO install with all your settings and mods intact.

 

Try that mod installation again and if still doesn't work could you post all the relevant details into a bug report in the Bug Genie.
