I have your answer. In fact, I have the answer to a question that's probably been plaguing many people regarding this error. I don't know if you're using the Steam version of Fable or not, but I received the same error when attempting to use the explorers and I have the Steam version. The problem is this:
The explorers are set by default to look for your Fable game files in a certain place. There is no configuration file with the regular Fable Explorer to change this. However, there is one with the Shadownet version available on the forum here. In the config file for the explorer (config.xml), change the following lines of code:
<useregistry>TRUE</useregistry>
Change this to FALSE.
<InstallDirectory>Longfilepathhere</InstallDirectory>
Replace this with the location of your Fable game files. For me, this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fable the lost chapters\
And BOOM! It runs. Don't worry about fiddling with the registry path. I did initially only to find that even the Steam version creates the same registry path entry as the non-Steam version under Microsoft\\Microsoft Games
Now I haven't actually modded anything into the game with the explorer, but everything loads up fine. I'll update once I've popped something into the game successfully.
UPDATE: Just used the ShadowNet version to remove all my scars and it worked!
