TexGen "not found" error preventing me from completing DynDOLOD

[wizard903]

I finally decided to board the DynDOLOD train and have been following GamerPoet's excellent walk through for Oldrim (non-SE) on PC. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at the TexGen step and continually receive the following error message:

 

textures\landscape\trees\treepineforestbarkcompsnow_n.dds not found!

 

It's as if TexGen can't get started. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

 

I'm running TexGen from within MO, have unchecked "Have MO manage archives," and made sure my skyrim.ini file accurately reflects GamerPoet's copy-pasta. I also have Skyrim, SKSE, DynDOLOD, etc. installed to a non-special folder.

I've been researching for hours and can't find even a hint of a solution. Any advice would be immensely appreciated!

TexGen log with error message

Looks like TexGen starts and runs just fine. It got to its option window where you clicked start. While it is doing its ting it then tells you a textures is not found.

 

The texture textures\landscape\trees\treepineforestbarkcompsnow_n.dds is in Skyrim - Textures.bsa, which we can see from the log is being loaded. It also exists in the Hi-Res DLC.

This typically means there is a problem with Skyrim - Textures.bsa

DynDOLOD is a modified xEdit, so start the load order in xEdit, start the Asset Browser with CTRL+F3, enter treepineforestbarkcompsnow_n into the filter and see what happens when you right click the listed file and Save as (from Skyrim Textures.bsa)

 

Also, the install instructions says:

 

From the DynDOLOD Standalone archive copy the content of the 'DynDOLOD' folder, which contains the files TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe, TexGen.exe/TexGenx64.exe, DynDOLOD_QuickStart.html and the sub folders 'Docs' and 'Edit Scripts' with all their content into a new 'DynDOLOD' folder outside of special OS folders like 'Programs Files' or 'Program Files (x86)', the SteamApps or game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Do not mix with old versions or xEdit installation.
