Cannot Start LOOT.exe from MO

[vNathanJ]

I have been having a few problems with MO lately so recently I decided to reinstall it. MO now works fine but when I try to run LOOT from MO I get the error message:

 

"Cannot Start LOOT.exe

This error typically happens because an anti-virus has deleted critical files from MO's installation folder or has made them generally inaccessible..."

 

I do not have an anti-virus program installed

 

The details of this message are:

Error 87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER: The parameter is incorrect. (0x57)

. binary: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LOOT\LOOT.exe'

. owner: BUILTIN\Administrators

. rights: (normal rights)

. arguments: '--game="Skyrim Special Edition"'

. cwd: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LOOT'

. stdout: no, stderr: no, hooked: yes

. MO elevated: no

. usvfs x86:not found x64:ok proxy_x86:not found proxy_x64:not found

 

Can anyone help out??

Are you using Windows 7 or Windows 10?

You've installed LOOT into C:\Program Files (x86) so LOOT likely does not have sufficient rights to do what it needs to do. Do not install the game, Mod Organizer, or any modding tools into a UAC-protected folder like C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). See the System Setup guide here for tips on how to install and configure Mod Organizer and all the tools into a folder you create.

Also note that you should not be running Mod Organizer or any game/application from Mod Organizer as an administrator.
