I located the problem. Turns out at some point the Texconv64 exe was hijacked by Avast Antivirus. Reinstalling DynDOLOD addressed this. Thanks for your attention!

Hi, I figured out how to move my Skyrim install out of the (x86)Program Files path to a new location on the same D: drive (which is not the UAC C: drive). Making sure all the MO2 paths were changed to the new location, I attempted to run again, and it looks like Texgen and DynDOLOD are having the same issue. I am attaching the output logs (the app doesn't seem to be saving its log, so i cut/pasted from the app console directly). Just to help my sanity check my steps: All game files are running from a Steam install on D: not under a Program Files path All modding tools are running from a Modding\Tools directory (as above, not on the C: Windows drive) MO2 is in its own root drive on the same D: i have disabled Antivirus shield when running in case those are interfering Q: Are there any other OS processes I should be checking? Q: Are there any other third party processes that are known problems? Q: What else can I do here? Thanks, in advance, for any help or guidance. bugreport.txt Dyn-Tex-Errors.zip

Thank you, Dragon King, for your attention. I guess I had assuming that keeping the game installation off the UAC C: drive would be sufficient, and that having an install under D: would be enough to avoid problems, regardless of what the path names are. Looking at the guide again, I see that this is a really bad assumption on my part, but am now locked out of moving my Skyrim install because of the recent update (which breaks SKSE). :tears hair out in frustration, which is probably okay because there wasn't that much of it anyway:

Thanks for any help anyone can give me here... almost done with this 2-week long installation and this hard stop is making me crazy, lol.
