Oblivion Mod:PCS Library/Cannot find new plugin after saving in TESCS
Problem[edit]
TESCS does not successfully create a new plugin when saving a new plugin.
Cause - UAC Protection[edit]
Windows 7 and Windows Vista users have User Account Control (UAC) on by default, which prevents applications without administrator privileges from installing and modifying files.
Solution: This issue affects many utilities for Oblivion, so the cleanest, safest method to avoid this and further related issues is to uninstall Oblivion and reinstall Oblivion to a folder outside of UAC protection (i.e., C:\Games
). The same applies to Steam, if Oblivion is installed through it.
Solution: You can try to give TESCS the necessary rights by right-clicking on the launcher in the Oblivion folder and using the Run as administrator
option.
Solution: It is possible to only disabled UAC protection on the folder in which Oblivion is installed. Since Oblivion and other mods modify Documents/My Games
, you may wish to disable protection on that folder as well.
Solution: Another clean method (albeit a bit less safe) is to turn off User Account Control all together.
