Jul 28, The Nexus Mod files page but when I choose a file to download after clicking 'Download with Manager' I get this error message: The address. I decided to start using the Nexus Mod Manager 0. I believe that I moved the file to the appropriate folder, etc.

I'm sorry for being somewhat vague, but I am not computer savvy. I ran into this problem today, and I've come up with a few solutions. The root cause is that the default folder that Nexus Mod Manager wants to install into is not typically writable by normal users. They want you to install into a subfolder of C:, and if you don't have administrator rights, chances are you can't create the 'Games' folder you need C:Games. Run the program as administrator. Just right click, and choose the 'Run as Administrator' option.

The name of the directories in this folder depend on your version of NMM, but the file you're looking for is user. You can delete this file, but you'll lose any other NMM settings including the location of any games that were scanned previously.
