Fallout mod manager / Discussion / Help: FOMM Crashes on startup

Jeff Dredd - 2011-04-11

Hey there. I recently installed Fallout New Vegas to try out some mods. After installing FONV I also installed FOMM, The first time I started it it asked if I wanted to manage Fallout 3 or New Vegas, and where the files were supposed to go. Then it gave this error:

"Something bad seems to have happened. As long as it wasn't too bad, a crash dump will have been saved in 'fomm\crashdump.txt' Please include the contents of that file if you want to make a bug report"

The contents of that file:

Fomm 0.13.21
OS version: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1

System.ArgumentException: Absolute path information is required.

   at Fomm.PackageManager.PermissionsManager.Init()
   at Fomm.Program.Main(String args)

Also, it's not Windows NT, it's Windows 7, 32-bit. I have tried running it both without and with administrator privileges. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I tried randomly googling parts of the log but it hasn't helped me one bit. Thanks!

same problem as above. (but I am on vista) Have been having this problem for a few months now. have waited for a fix; but none have come, so I uninstalled every thing FOMOD and reinstalled still same problem. also made sure that "C:\Users\NameHere\AppData\Local\FalloutNV\plugins" is not read only.

Hey all.
    My FOMM has started doing this also. I don't have FONV or MZ. I have the game patched to 1.7 & here's the crashdump report:

It doesn't seem like anyone at SourceForge cares at all about our problems with FNV FOMM?!?
