Problem with OpenMW 0.40 wizard installation (Windows 7)

Post by StirlizZz »

Hey guys, I got a problem.

I just installed OpenMW 0.40 and started a setup wizard. Then I tried to choose path to my Morrowind.esm file but nothing happens. I mean I browsed to that file placed in Morrowind/Data Files/ folder, pressed OK but message "no existing installations detected" was still here.

I searched through forums but didn`t found any answer, people with the same problem just solved it somehow.

OC is Windows 7

May be somebody can send me his own .cfg files for OpenMW written so I can just change path that suits me?

From what I remember, you have to select the Morrowind.esm file, not just be in the directory.

The wizard automatically detects your Morrowind directory but -- for whatever reason -- you need to specify the path to your Data Files directory. In my case: "D:\_Games\TES-III_Morrowind\Data Files" instead of "D:\_Games\TES-III_Morrowind"

The entry in your openmw.cfg would look like this:

Code: Select all

data="D:\_Games\TES-III_Morrowind\Data Files"
