Can I get Xedit to work with both GOG Skyrim and Steam Skyrim? UPDATE: Fixed

[Hilda1007]

My setup is Skyrim 1.5.97 on C\Steam and also GOGSkyrim 1.6.6.59 on C\All My Games. I set up the new GOG version as a new instance on MO2 and all working ok so far. To get Xedit to find the GOG version, I used the -D, -I and -P to switch the file paths to my GOG Skyrim and that worked! But when I changed MO2 instances to my 1.5.97 game (which is at C\Steam (NOT in the programme files), Xedit looked in C\Programe Files (x86) and of course found nothing. So I used the -D, -I and -P path switches to point at my Steam Skyrim and then xedit gave me this message:

Does anyone know how resolve this? I have already tried to give xEdit a -G (savegame path) but that did not help.

 

FIXED! Problem was a very hard-to-spot space between a : and a C

Improper command-line string in MO: C : instead of C:

I'm glad to hear you solved the problem because it sounded as if you were doing everything correctly.
