If no previous backup of bash.ini is available, copy and then rename "bash_default.ini" to "bash.ini," and place this alongside the former. The INI defines many useful things including where WB looks for installers. Edit bash.ini, and replace the "\Oblivion Mods" directory references with "\Skyrim Mods" and update any other paths or settings as necessary. Many users prefer to keep ''Skyrim Mods\'' on a different harddrive. Do not try to change the "\Bash Installers" directory reference, as that is hardcoded, and Bash will create it inside ''Skyrim Mods\''. | |||
The Python version allows execution of a debug batch file to ensure that everything is configured properly, all errors will be logged to "BashBugDump.log". Python-version users will also need to create a shortcut to "Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw" and move to a convenient location (like the Desktop or Quick Launch bar). | |||
