Yes sir it is and has been from the start.

I have been getting an error with running FNIS from mod organizer. I have been working on trying to fix this for 4 days now and am running out of ideas so I came here. The error I receive is: "Error (5) The directory is invalid" I run windows Vista 64 Home Premium Edition and have followed both the S.T.E.P. installation guide and Gopher's guide. My binary from mod organizer to run the FNIS.exe is through C:\program files x86\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\modorganizer then the FNIS folder. When I load FNIS through MO it detects the mods I have installed and activated, but when it gets to "generating behavior files...." the Error (5) line appears and the behavior files never get generated. I uninstalled everything including Skyrim, re-installed Skyrim and ran it vanilla first to generate the .ini files. I then put mod organizer back into the Skyrim directory and re-downloaded FNIS for a fresh start, and set it all up again only to receive the same error message. When setting MO to run as an administrator through the binary in MO, it asks me to run it with elevated permissions. If checking "yes" to this, I still get the Error (5), however it doesn't detect any mods at all. I understand this is most likely an access issue, but is there a solution to this? I only have one drive so I can't install Skyrim outside of C:\program files or C:\program files x86. Also if I run FNIS straight from Windows out of the MO folder (not using the binary path) it will not detect any mods and always tells me "creature pack not installed" when it clearly is. Thank you for taking the time to read my unintentional wall of text.
