SureAI

I've been trying to install this for several days and cannot find the answer to my problem anywhere. I have the Skyrim Special Edition through steam. I installed a fresh vanilla Skyrim Special Edition. When I attempted to run the launcher it cannot locate TESV.exe. Fair, as it didn't exist. The launching .exe is SkyrimSE.exe. I tried renaming the .exe to TESV.exe and it allows the install to run. after I complete the install and the update, which happens quite smoothly, I attempt to run it. Upon launching Enderal, before the game ever gets brought up, I get a black box (looks like a CMD box) that belongs to SKSE and instructs me to update to the latest version of Skyrim. An additional white dialogue box appears and tells me the same thing. If I update Skyrim via steam at this point it simply overwrites anything enderal related and bloats the folder and breaks everything. Any suggestions?



EDIT 1:: There is a HUGE possibility I solved this on my own. After doing a long search for SKSE on the forums here, I found that the mod does not work with special edition skyrim. I couldn't find my classic edition because I had sorted it into a different games group on steam I'll report back if I've solved it.

EDIT 2:: Yep. It works fine when I use the classic version. Perhaps it should be noted in the installation instructions that you MUST use a classic version and NOT the special edition. If SKSE ever gets updated for Special Edition then I suppose it would have worked fine.

Im using classic version of skyrim i think it says in bottom left
1.9.37.0.8
but it wont let me play enderal
please update to the latest version of skyrim ENDERAL
HOW do i update? I launched original steam version and it still seems to play normally so i presume its updated?

there we go

If you still can launch Skyrim it is not correctly installed. I would recommend a reinstall of Enderal:
Uninstall the Enderal completely (not archiving!) via the launcher. Clean the Skyrim folder by hand. Install Skyrim via Steam. Verify it's game cache: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art ... -QEUH-3335
Then run it to see if it works. If yes quit. If not you have done something wrong with the Skyrim installation.
Make sure you have the newest launcher A42: http://enderal.com/?lang=en
Download a fresh installation package (we recommend torrent) and install it with this instruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwlSsjehgQA

Thanks,
I verified cache was 1 error but the video says not to worry about that.
I am always exceeding my monthly bandwidth so i dont have the option really to re-download skyrim entirely.
I followed the video (I have no mods) still exactly same result as before though if i click SkyrimLauncher.exe normal game resumes.
hmm though when i search for skyrim it seems i have a skyrim folder in many various locations though because windows explorer refuses to list paths its very difficult to work out which search results are subfolders and which are 'alternate installs' because of the way ms crippled windows explorer.
Anyway when i cut it down to just search for SkyrimLauncher.exe we still find two locations, maybe thats the problem?

F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim
F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim


Perhaps I should I delete one?
Be nice to somehow find out which one steam uses.

hmm when i click steam/browse local files it goes to the "Skyrim" not "skyrim" location So i will try installing enderal there also. though both launchers launch steam as it is already

Working now!, worth reading someone else may have this weird issue if steam installing skyrim twice in different locations!
