I believe it is Vista. I downloaded JSGME and ran the installer as admin. Everything went fine until I tried to install my mods. Thanks to Vista's "compatibility files" feature (whatever the heck THAT is), Vista won't even let you really unzip the files to your MODS folder; instead, they end up in some "virtual space" where they can't "hurt" you. JSGME won't even SEE them. And before I get the harsh "maybe you're just an idiot" responses, I'm running JSGME in compatibility mode for XP SP 2, with administrative privileges, per Jones' readme. I also checked the directory structure of my mods and they are fine.
If anyone else has encountered this and has an answer, I'd be very grateful.
