OK. Here's what I'm gonna do.
Uninstall Oblivion.
Clean off Nehrim.
Create a folder in C:\ called Oblivion-Nehrim.
Create a folder within that folder called Oblivion.
Install Oblivion into the folder called Oblivion.
We will see if Nehrim lets me install into the Oblivion-Nehrim folder without problems.
The problems i was having before though, were that the Nehrim installer would not detect the Oblivion.exe file UNLESS I installed them in the exact same place. That's why I did that before.
Will update once i inevitably run into problems.

That's strange... It's supposed to detect Oblivion with a fresh install. The registry might be messed up. Have you run cc cleaner?
Yup, went to the registry tab, scanned, fixed all selected issues. I did notice some oblivion-related ones last time. I just ran again and they're gone, so maybe this time the nehrim installer will detect correctly. Still installing oblivion right now.
EDIT: Nope. Tried installing into the Oblivion-Nehrim folder, nothing. Tried installing into the Oblivion folder, nothing.
It always tries to add a \Nehrim at the end of any path, meaning it wants to make its own folder within. This never works. The ONLY way I can get it to detect the oblivion.exe is by extracting DIRECTLY into the Oblivion-Nehrim\Oblivion folder.

Just make sure: SEPARATE folders for oblivion and nehrim
Separate folders wont work 
the only way to get it to continue with the install, without popping up a box (that yes, I can bypass, but when I have tried previously completely borks my game, making it unable to run) is by extracting the nehrim files INTO the same folder that the Oblivion files are in.

Then I am at an end really. I don't know what the solution might be. Hopefully someone else can help you. Damn shame that you can't play this mod it must suck for you. Keep trying or get some sleep and try again tomorrow!
Well thanks anyway friend, I appreciate you taking your time to try and help me, yeah it does suck I can't seem to play but I will keep checking this thread in hopes someone can help me.
EDIT: Yeah, just redid everything... a fresh Oblivion install after running CC cleaner, a fresh Nehrim install (i DID have to extract directly into the Oblivion folder) and still the same problems.
It MUST be because of the problems I'm having with the installer. I have to find out why it won't detect the .exe unless I extract directly into the folder. If anyone can help me you will have my thanks.

Still looking for help if anyone has any bright ideas on
A. Why my installer won't detect the oblivion.exe file even after cleaning registry
B. How to fix yellow boxes
C. How to fix missing voice acting

I got an idea. It might just work out. Go to a friend of yours or if you have another computer in your house. Install Oblivion there. Don't worry if it's an old one it doesn't matter. Then install Nehrim on that computer. If the installtion succeeds there you just need to copy the Nehrim folder to your pc you want to play on. I am positive that this will work.
If you didn't install Oblivion into the default path, I think I know what your problem is.
I used to have a ton of trouble installing mods for Rome: Total War. A couple months later, I installed the game and mods into my new computer, and it worked. The problem ended up being that I had manually installed Rome Total War into an awkward folder instead of choosing the default installation path. From your original post, it appears that you have not installed Oblivion into the default path, so try again.
And even if you did install Oblivion into its default path, uninstalling everything in the order of newest first may fix your problem.

Does anyone know if the newest update to Nehrim targeted any of the problems with installation/missing textures, such as I've been having? I'm downloading the new patch now but I'm not too hopeful. Still having these same problems.
I know Hazzmat's method has worked for me in the past as the last time I had Nehrim, I got it by just copying it off my brother's external hard drive; however he lives 4.5 hours away and has long since gotten rid of Oblivion and Nehrim and has moved onto Skyrim which i cannot do because I am poor so that is no longer an option.
EDIT: Yep still having exact same problems after patching Tried everything ALL over again- uninstalled Oblivion, reinstalled to a folder on my desktop, patched oblivion, then tried to install Nehrim as administrator... and ONCE AGAIN it tells me that "the path you have given is wrong, it contains no oblivion.exe file". So frustrating.
By the way.... If it's so important that you install Nehrim and Oblivion in separate folders, why is it that it apparently needs to be installed to a path that contains an oblivion.exe file?

The Nehrim-Folder contains the Oblivion.exe, too. Remember, just the master files/data has been changed, the engine, which the oblivion.exe contains hasn't been changed.
Dude I feel so sorry for you I wish I could help you but I really couldn't figure it out last time so good luck!
It looks like the game isn't updating properly because all of the options in the launcher are not clickable so I can't get to the data files
I fixed it, I had put the launcher on my desktop but it doesn't work
