Installing SR:LE for the 2nd Time, suddenly "The file exists"

[FamousDeadGuy]

I have been re-installing SR:LE over the last day and I ran into a problem. While trying to install SkyUI 1.0.4a, I right clicked it and selected "install".

 

The error:

 

Installation Failed: The file exists.

 

Last few lines of the MO log:

 

18:53:10 [D] nexus category id 42 maps to internal 21
18:53:10 [D] mod id guessed: SkyUI_4_1-3863-4-1 -> -1
18:53:10 [D] passed mod id: 3863, guessed id: -1
18:53:10 [D] using mod name "SkyUI" (id 3863) -> SkyUI_4_1-3863-4-1.7z
18:53:17 [D] brought window to front
18:53:18 [D] no files in installed mod
18:43:12 [D] add nxm download: nxm://Skyrim/mods/57859/files/1000126954

 

I have no idea what this could be, and I searched the SR:LE forums with no success. Help?

Someone else may speak up or Tannin may help you...

Idk if Tannin looks in this forum though but I could be wrong.

No one responded to me in the MO forums when I had this problem with Fallout: New Vegas, either. :(

do you happen to have it set to admin mode?

If so thats your problem.... There are probably long term effects

[hishutup]

Mod Organizer is never supposed to be in admin mode. There was a topic on it... I am on my phone so no link, sorry....

Close mo first

Um in the <MO>/downloads folder I guess delete the sky ui files.... Including meta data...

Then redowload and see if that works... What's the link to the FNV F&L topic you didn't get answered...

I haven't even installed SkyUI, there is no evidence of its existence in the Mod Organizer folder.
