That did it! Yeah I tried various ways of inputing the text, but it must have been the combo of the hidden txt file with the proper spacing. Thanks so much! Can't wait to play Morrowind once again!

Hey guys. I referred to this page: https://github.com/dotfloat/steam-appmanifest#manual (look under the manual heading) and believe I have found a solution for my Mac Steam OpenMW install.

In my case, Steam wouldn't start the download until I inserted "installdir" "APPNAME" into the appmanifest_APPID.acf file. It doesn't seem to matter what you name the directory, but also doesn't seem to recognize spaces and special characters properly (my directory ended up being called "The).

When I restarted Steam it downloaded properly and the the openmw installation wizard worked.
