MO 2.08.2b won't manage SSE

[Muzinzafrika 0]

I have been trying to install this version of MO to use with SSE for some time and whatever I do, it always manages Classic Skyrim not SSE. I have tried installing it inside the SSE directory and messed with instances (portable and not) and always upon opening MO it's as though it wanted to manage Classic Skyrim. Note that I am using MO1 for Classic Skyrim and that may be what's messing things up. So, what should I do?

Have you run SkyrimSE at least once from its own launcher to establish the correct registry entries? To be clear, the MO2 instance is called "Skyrim Special Edition" not "Skyrim"?

 

Whatever the current state of your game, please post the logs from the last run, preferably delete all the current ones and start fresh.

I have now tried running SE before opening MO and the problem still persists. Whichever instance I choose, always Classic Skyrim is managed. As for logs:

Click the blue icon top left in the UI and create a new instance, Should ask you to point to your game files.

 

And MO2 should not be in the same folder as skyrimSE 

 

You can read the following to remove it correctly https://forum.step-project.com/topic/11819-overwrite/?p=192465

Thank you so much! For some reason now when I installed it outside SkyrimSE directory and chose a portable instance, it allowed me to manage SSE and it works!
