DittoSenpai Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I had windows 8 before, and everything worked absolutely beautifully but now once I upgraded to 8.1 (wasn't my decision I got an SSD and the people who replaced it for me installed windows 8.1) I cannot use the generatetoolsforfnis.exe I've re-installed it like a million times. Is there any fix for this? Is this gonna be patched/fixed in the next update of FNIS? Edit: I use MO and I think Im just going to re-install Skyrim, Mod Organizer and FNIS and see what happens. Wish me luck
The Matrix Prime Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I have Windows 8.1 and use FNIS with little to no problems. Make sure you run FNIS as the "administrator". Its not enough (with Windows 8) for your account to be the "administrator", you have to left click the application and select "Run as administrator" EVERYTIME you run the program. Its annoying but it has to do with the way Microsoft has set up windows. I have to do this when loading up the Creation Kit as well. In fact you should really do it with all most virtually every program on your computer, it will solve 90% of your problems. If that doesn't work, then something else is to blame, because as long as you run FNIS as Administrator, it IS compatible with Windows 8.1.
omega_1a Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 FNIS works fine for me on 8.1 also. If your using MO you have to run it from there and it dumps the output in your overwrite folder.
darkconsole Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 hit up the FAQ. check the errors he has listed. has a bit for windows errors. and dont just stop after the first 2 error numbers because there is a metric assload of content in that faq, including .net problems. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811/?

Yeah I'm running MO and I run it from there but it shows this error: Works fine on my install of 8.1. Are you using MO? Yes
PubliusNV Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 It's working for me on 8.1 also. I enabled it to run under MO according to the STEP wiki - I don't remember whether I had to do anything to make sure it ran as administrator.
Arethiel Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 8.1 is finicky at best, though FNIS should work. Run it as an Administrator and run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and see if it works. Also, might want to expand that dialog box and post a screenshot of that here because it might contain something useful.
darkconsole Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 8.1 is finicky at best not picking on the quoted person here. im blanket telling you all. its not 8.1's fault. something else about the system is fucked and its most likely the user's fault. my pc had some problems... couldn't debug them. did a "system refresh" which actually uninstalled all apps, drivers, and updates, so it dropped me on a brand new fresh 8.0 last week. a few hours later i was back where i left off, and, amazing, still worked fine after reupping to 8.1. the only thing more annoying to me than apple fanboys are people running W7 who refuse to touch W8. i assume they just have downs or something. he attached a screenshot of the error dialog without even expanding the View Problem Details (or at least including it in the screenshot). hey doctor, my arm hurts when i do this with it. then stop doing that! >_> i already posted the fnis link which almost certainly contains the proper fix within the pages of words there are to read.

Ortexofwill Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I had a small problem with FNIS when I installed it on my laptop running Windows 8.1. I went to Gopher's youtube video "Installing FNIS". he goes step by step. Then on, No problems.
