So i got this copy of Ob GOTY (S Isles included), and checked the ini file, section SArchiveList, it has 291 characters. Is there any section in the ini file that controls the lenght of the SArchiveList, can we get it further than 291? thank you --[[User:Gan10|Gan10]] 02:16, 10 March 2011 (EST) | So i got this copy of Ob GOTY (S Isles included), and checked the ini file, section SArchiveList, it has 291 characters.

== On installing in "\Program Files (x86)\Oblivion\" == | |||
If users don't mind overriding Windows lame security settings (and if they know what they are doing), this isn't a problem. | |||
Besides, the permissions and ownership inside the Oblivion directory can be more permissive than those controlling "\program files[(x86)]\". Users shouldn't be forced to install programs in random locations on their disk just because of new security features. Other programs look at the standard program paths to work with oblivion and if it is not installed there, provisions need to be made (like using symlinks in the oblivion dir to point to your more open location)... That said. I don't know how much worse security was in Vista, because I skipped it. I've heard in some areas they loosened control, whereas in others it got tighter, but maybe something about installing and modding in programs-dir, was more incompatible under Vista. I dunno, but it's runnable under win7 at that loc (if you can get the extensions to all play nice together...)... | |||
