Error loading plugin list: EDirectoryNotFoundException: The specified path was not found

[Rooker]

I ran DynDOLOD several months ago when I had Skyrim installed on a standalone SSD for games (F:). Everything worked fine the first time I did this. I've now installed a much larger SSD, moved Windows and moved my games to it. So Skyrim is installed to C: now (at C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim). I'm trying to update DynDOLOD because I changed one of the mods DynDOLOD.esp made a master, but texgen and dyndolod both keep trying to read from the old file path for Skyrim and I can't find where it's saving this old information to change or delete it. DynDOLOD_settings.ini doesn't have any file paths listed in it.

 

It shows me this and stops.

Error loading plugin list. The specified path was not found.
[D:\Skyrim\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim - Special Edition\Data\]

The log messages already explains what the problem is: the data path does not seem to exist, so the plugins can not be loaded. This is an error message from the xEdit loader. See https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Windows-Registry-Key

Use a legal game version.
Could also be a permission problem because of the OS, antivir etc.

and if there is no Bethesda Softworks in KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node?

UPD: i found it. everything is working properly.

Hello, 

I am fairly new to modding, and I have realised some of my mods weren't running as I installed dyndolod using a guide and got to the point of running texgen however it keeps coming up with an error and I noticed the data path is to a version i have deleted. also my c drive is almost full. what do I do?

From the log that was uploaded:
Fatal: Error loading plugin list: <EDirectoryNotFoundException: The specified path was not found

Moved to the appropriate thread for this error message, which can be found by searching this forum for the message as explained at https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Use-Search

Searching the official DynDOLOD website finds https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Windows-Registry-Key which explains how to fix the cause of the error by updating the registry information by running the game launcher once.
It also has a link to https://dyndolod.info/Help/Command-Line-Argument, which also explains:
Since TexGen/DynDOLOD are based on xEdit, they support the same Command Line Switches of xEdit.
