FireAuraN7 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I recently started using Wrye Bash for Skyrim LE in conjunction with Vortex and LOOT. I run it separately because I can't get it to work via the Vortex Interface. It was working fine... until today, when it wouldn't start up. the error message told me to post the following on this thread: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bash\bash.pyo", line 249, in main File "bash\bash.pyo", line 412, in _main File "bash\basher\__init__.pyo", line 4240, in Init File "bash\basher\__init__.pyo", line 4275, in InitData File "bash\bosh\__init__.pyo", line 1817, in __init__ File "bash\bosh\__init__.pyo", line 1319, in __init__ File "bash\bosh\__init__.pyo", line 1411, in _initDB File "bash\bosh\__init__.pyo", line 1314, in _initDB File "bash\bolt.pyo", line 1680, in __init__ File "bash\bolt.pyo", line 1448, in load File "bash\bolt.pyo", line 793, in open IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Skyrim Mods\\Bash Mod Data\\Table.dat' Help?!?!?

alt3rn1ty Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 One more time for old times sake The last line is telling you what is wrong. Have a read of the Wrye Bash description https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840/ Just before Version History it says .. Remember! In Windows Vista and up, don't install Skyrim Special Edition in the Program Files folder due to User Account Control! See Also File Permissions When you are using steam, it also defaults to installing your games in the Windows UAC protected folder, Program Files So to resolve this : Uninstall Wrye Bash (If you used the Wrye Bash Installer as advised, you will find in the Start menu a Wrye Bash entry, expand it and choose the Wrye Bash Uninstaller) Uninstall your games Uninstall Steam Re-install steam, but this time choose an installation path which does not fall under Windows UAC control, say .. C:\Steam\ instead of .. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\ Install your games And lastly using the Wrye Bash Installer install Wrye Bash again which will now have all the permissions it needs to do what it does, because Windows will not be putting a leash on the dog. ------------------- Someone will probably suggest just disabling UAC .. Bad option imho, but its your computer, do as you will. Someone may point out there is an easier way of moving your whole steam library which will circumvent the need to uninstall all your games and re-install them again - This will save you some time if you follow all the steps to the letter .. Unfortunately its been so long since I had steam installed or Bethesda games I have forgotten the details .. .. Cue another friendly helper Good luck. Edit : PS There is a dedicated Wrye Bash topic here Infernio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This link will probably be helpful in moving Steam to an appropriate location:https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
