The tools weren't created with vista in mind so the best way to find out is to try them.

I have...I can get FE to start...but it always freezes once the logo comes up...so I am unable to open and files to apply....as for AE, It opens, but I have fable installed on my external HDD, and it cant find the final Albion file because its located not on my c drive, but on my external. I opened the settings file in notepad, and changed the location that it searches from the c drive to my external hdd where fable is installed, but it still searches the c drive.

I figured this wasn't developed for vista, but thanks for confirming it for me. I love fable, but in my opinion it was way way to short. I think some of these mods on this website are simply amazing and I wanted to change mine up a little bit and hopefully learn to create my own mods someday (I have a few good ideas for things I would love to see). Is there a way to install these mods without the FE? Can they just be moved into the fable folder, or does that not work? (Im guessing it doesn't work, although I havent tried it). Thanks for any help you can give me. If you have a suggestion as to how I can get FE running on vista, please let me know. Thanks again

The fmp files need to be loaded using Fable Explorer, there is no other way to import them.

As far as Albion Explorer goes there used to be an option in the settings to set wether it checked the registry for the information about where the game had been installed. I'm not sure if newer version still have this option but if it does, enabling it should enable the program to find the right files.

Uncomment MyPath in AlbionExplorer.INI and set it to whatever folder you want or use Change to Folder... from the File menu while in the app. If neither of these work, then there would be a bug somewhere. Confused

Busy!

Yes I opened the Albionexplorer and deleted that path...but it still says on loadup "Loading WLD" and wont load past that. When I click on the logo, it says could not find a part of the path...blah blah blah where fable should be on my c drive...i dont know why it does that. As for the framework 2.0...would the higher framework 3 do it or does it have to be 2 only?

The directory or path that Fable uses on XP might be different than Vista, that could be a problem.
Also .net 3.0 has the 2.0 version included.

this is not an exit.

Could be registry issues as well since FE I know uses it to load assets.

Deleted? Just remove the ; in the beginning. Also, don't remove the FableRegistry line.

Busy!

ok, I removed the ; in the beginning, but it still doesnt find the WLD file...should I have deleted the ; and changed the path to where it is installed? As for FE, if it is a regestry problem, is there a way to fix that?

AlbionExplorer.INI example:
[Settings]

FableRegistry = Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Fable\1.0
MyPath = C:\dev\fablemod\albionexplorer\bin\Debug\test\ 
Splash = true

...

Thank you guys so much for the help. I finally got the fe to run after like 45 minutes of just letting it sit there. Now, i dont know which files to open to edit and install fmp files to. For example, I downloaded the dual wield file, but which file do i open to edit to install? I tried using the wiki, but i just cant figure it out. Im sorry for asking so many questions. Also, since i have the fable game installed onto my external, when i try to go to save and run game(which it doesnt matter anyway since i dont know how to use fmp files) it wont do it because fable isnt installed at C:/program files/Fable or whatever. instead its at G:/Games/Fable-The Lost Chapters . Anyway I can change that to boot from there?
