Yes I know something is not right though Ive not got to the 'smash' stage yet? I'll goto misc merged and take a look ty

Now 60 mnins, guess ive messed up somewhere?

I'm at the 'time for a quick test' part of the guide. Q. should I expect a very long load time (first run) if so how long, its at 15mins and counting so far with the flat logo (no spinny). TIA

Yes, I've subsequently reinstalled and unpacked as per guide instructions, rebuilt merge and alls well for now :) steep learning curve for me, in a week or so I'll be in a position to start to run the build and start some testing. Thank you for your response. 99Red.

More - download was marked as bsa extracted so being noobish I took it at its word, however, it wasn't, so I followed the 'notes on extracting bsa' and it's unpacked the bsa file, removed the suggested folder and cleaned the nif, reset MO2 to 'BSA EXTractor = false and ill try again.

Hi Lexy et al ,modding community, one and all. I'm just over halfway through the 'merge' section, survived the LOTD merge after eight attempts but now I've hit a wall at NSUTR (looked relatively straightforward) and I'm getting a busy/locked *.bsa error in Zmerge - Tue Jan 29 2019 16:05:58 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time) [ERROR] Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'D:\MO2\mods\NO SNOW UNDER THE ROOF\Prometheus_No_snow_Under_the_roof.bsa' at Object.fs.unlinkSync (fs.js:1073:18) at Object.fh.delete (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:70:29) at fs$1.readdirSync.forEach.file (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:72:18) at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at Object.fh.delete (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:71:28) at removeOldMergeFiles (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:8549:18) at prepareMerge (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:8558:9) at buildMerge (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:8624:20) at buildNextMerge (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:8634:9) at Object.buildMerges (file:///D:/Mods/Tools/zEdit_Alpha_v0.5.3_-_Portable_x64/resources/app.asar/app/app.js:8651:9) I thought maybe exiting MO2 and restarting might flush this out, but no. I can easily start again but wanted to learn a bit more. Have I missed a trick somewhere?
