Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening...

In preparation of this when I re-installed Skyrim not long ago, I decided to leave my Skyrim in a working vanilla state. I have Steam installed and working.

I tried to install Enderal and then scrapped those attempts and decided to use the Nexus version with the most current launcher from here.

Now it came with a .GZ format. There is really no clear info (as of last evening for me) on where things are supposed to go. The little info I gleaned was to not unpack the GZ (or torrent) and to put the launcher in the Skyrim folder and let it handle installation. When this wasn't working I did add the GZ file to the Skyrim and the Skyrim data file (not unpacking it.)

At first the launcher I used would not recognize the hardware I have (even though it is more than sufficient) and could not allow me to continue onward. After I got the installer again when I decided to use the Nexus version, it actually moved on to the backup/install part. It still didn't recognize my hardware but allowed the launcher to continue. Once it reached the install stage everything stopped. The gear continues to turn like it was trying to install but after about 4 or more hours it never go off -1%.
Again my Skyrim is vanilla, I have the requirements for the hardware.

The only thing different is I have a number of Steam games on another drive, which was set up through Steam itself so that you can add games in Steam to another drive. As I said all the games there work fine and through Steam itself, which allows more than one drive to have the games.

I have just verified my Skyrim cache this morning and am ready to try again.

If anyone has any insight as to what is going on and how I can make this work I would appreciate it. I apologize if this exact issue has been discussed. I haven't seen it and if it is, please just link me the right place. Thank you!

Hi,
here is an installation instruction with some additional information on how to install. If the installation fails again just give feedback here. You could attach a LauncherLog file so we can maybe explain what went wrong during the installation. You can find it here: C:\program files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\EnderalLauncher\system\log\Launcher.log

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Someone had shared that instruction sheet with me. Unfortunately (and I guess I am a bit slow here lol) it does not show anything about the Nexus installation nor does it (at least not to my knowledge) address what one does with the .GZ file. Do you just keep it where you downloaded it? Do you put it (not unpacked of course) in the Skyrim folder?

I will try some more and send the log if needed. Thank you again.

You can leave the gz download file where it is. During the installation process you can tell the installer where to look for it.

Yes you are right. I added nexusmods into this list. The list was created before we put our installation package on nexus (it got delayed due to server issues).
It is the same procedure.
I quickly made this gallery. Every installation step is included.
If you have troubles while updating check this wiki page.

Thanks! I know you had alot on your mind and the Nexus was just something not that important!

And sorry for being an idiot on this. Will go try things out now! Hopefully it will work now.
