unable to create directory error TES5Edit

[chance17]

Searched and seems nobody else ran into this yet. Almost finished with STEP extended installation, but I'm getting an error now when running TES5Edit:

- Initially had "-o" set to default directory (C:\), but moved to D:\ and set permissions to full control for user (admin) thinking it was a permissions issue. Same result, but where the exception number was "3" initially it is now "1" as in above bug report

- tried setting MO, TES5Edit, and the LODGen apps to "run as administrator" with same result

 

Note: steam installation must stay on D drive and can't be moved to C

 

Any suggestions on what to try next?

Check the actual argument that you have in the shortcut. According to that log you have it as:

command line : "D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\TES5Edit_3_1_1\TES5Edit.exe" -o:'D:\TES5LODGenOutput

Take note of the ' immediately before the output folder. It should be:

command line : "D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\TES5Edit_3_1_1\TES5Edit.exe" -o:D:\TES5LODGenOutput

Good eye, random keystroke got me there. Thanks!
