Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator". Then click OK. Do this for both the "oblivion.exe" and "TESConstructionSet.exe", and any programs you are using that copies files to protected directories (such as WinRAR, 7z, or WinZip). | Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator".

Windows Vista users who are fairly confident in the security of their computers might also consider [http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm disabling UAC] altogether. This will allow all programs writing privileges to the Program Files directory. Although this obviously creates a state of decreased security for your PC, it is a very helpful one-size-fits-all solution to a number of compatibility issues with the Vista OS. | |||
Edit by Cyberviper1: I have not had any of these problems with Vista, which I think is because I allowed myself full access to edit any folder on my computer and gave myself all access rights. Vista comes so that even as an administrator you don't have complete access privileges and need to set them up manually. I forget exactly how I did it but I think you need to right click on the folder you want rights to, then go to properties and then security tab. From here you can set security rights for different users on the computer. It takes a while to figure out and get it so that it sticks, but then you'll never have any problems removing, creating, or renaming any files in Vista. (Also, you may want to create another user account with 'full rights' in case you make a mistake and need someone with 'full rights' to fix it...happened to me.) | Edit by Cyberviper1: I have not had any of these problems with Vista, which I think is because I allowed myself full access to edit any folder on my computer and gave myself all access rights.
