Morrowind Overhaul 3.0So when I go to the install windows for the Morrowind graphics and sound overhaul, where it asks you if everything is up to date (the files are with the morrowind files and everything is exactly how the video shows), everything is green and dandy until it asks me to extract the files, Once I press the button and lose controll of my mouse I can get it to work again but then my computer pulls up a blue message saying 'app not allowed to run on the pc' or something like that. I don't even understand what it's talking about. What app is even trying to 'run' and how can I fix it?? I'm using Windows 10 and an IBUYPOWER computer. Don't know anything past that tbh since I'm new to computers but it's a powerful computer since it'll run everything flawlessly. Somebody please tell me I can use this damn mod, it's the only reason i spent money buying the game again.

Morrowind Overhaul 3.0 So when I go to the install windows for the Morrowind graphics and sound overhaul, where it asks you if everything is up to date (the files are with the morrowind files and everything is exactly how the video shows), everything is green and dandy until it asks me to extract the files, Once I press the button and lose controll of my mouse I can get it to work again but. Using the Morrowind plugins package 'Morrowind Overhaul' and Morrowind Graphics Extender, you can quite easily create a game on par and even superior to Oblivion in graphics. In the second part of this guide, we cover installing the Morrowind Overhaul package, and how to customize some of your settings.

I had to run someone through this a few weeks ago. For one thing you need to run the Overhaul as an admin. That means you have to open up the context menu on the program, right click, and select 'run as admin' from the menu you see there. The default security features in Windows 8 and Windows 10 are way too high and strict for the Overhaul to run on its own as it was meant to run. The losing control of your mouse thing is supposed to be where the Overhaul automates certain parts of the process to make it easier for people who are not technically minded.

That's a problem on Windows 8 and 10 because the OS freaks out when this happens with their default security settings. Changing these is a bit difficult, but whenever it does get triggered there should be an option in the notice that pops up to not ask you about that again. To regain mouse control to click what you need you have to open up the task manager for that try Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

You'll have to do this every tiime the security loses it at what the Overhaul is trying to do, but if you click the box to not ask you about it again, you should be able to run the overhaul again from the beginning and have it do what it needs to do without it breaking. Well thats wonderfully vague and unhelpfull.

Thanks microsoft! When you run the installer, it is going to launch other programs. They need to be run as administrator too. To ensure they do, go to every program in your Morrowind directory, including in its subfolders, right click on each program and go into its properties then into its compatiblity tab and choose the run as admin option in that tab.

This will make it so that program always runs as admin without having to tell it too each time and if another program running as admin launches it.Aside from that all I can think of is maybe the Data.exe file isn't compatible. That's what it is trying to run on the step where you said you're getting this error. All that is, is a normal 7Zip archive wrapped in embedded DLLs contained within an EXE that can extract that archive without needing that 7Zip program on the computer it is on. 7Zip has essentially been abandoned by its author He's been making beta updates for the last five years but has not updated the main, stable version since 2010. The 2010 version was never made compatible with Windows 7 and up.

There are supplementary programs that have done so. All I can think of to try to get around this if that is your issue is to get the 64-bit beta version of 7Zip installed. I am not entirely certain, but with the program installed, the self-extracting exe may use the updated libraries inthe beta instead of the ones included in within the exe itself.

But this isn't a problem I've seen before so I'm not sure.And none of this means anything if it's not even your issue. A really crazy alternative is to manually extract everything from Data.exe to a temporary location, replace the version of the Morrowind Code Patch, mlox, and the Exe Patch that was in there, and then use the new 64-bit beta version of 7Zip to compress everything into a new self extracting archive and also call it Data.exe and replace the old one in your Morrowind directory with it. Again I can't promise anything, but I can't think of anything else that would help.What bothers me is why more people with Windows 10 aren't having this issue. Before attempting the drastic step I just mentioned, set all the exes in your directory to run as admin and then try to get the 7Zip Beta first.

And see if that works. FOUND THE PROBLEM. It's actually quite ridiculous I didn't figure this out sooner. I was using a literal app that I downloaded from microsoft, since it's an app, it didn't have the ability to do what was needed to alter programs on the computer, so I downloaded WinRaR from the internet and bam. Worked like a charm. So if any other noobs like me have that problem, tell them to get WinRaR and use that haha. Apprechiate all the help from ya'll.

Probably wouldn't have figured it out if not for the suggestions. So in my big huge response, the part about the zip program being used was closest to the answer yeah.

A self extracting archive will ook to other programs first to see if they can extract the data, if it doesn't find any, it'll use the resoruces it brought with it. In your case you were using an incompatible Windows app, which the overhaul was trying to use. For everyone else, just installing WinRar or 7Zip and making sure that the one you are using is set to be the default program to open 7Zip files should stop this problem.
