Hello,

normally what I do, I use a program called 7zip, extract zipped file to desktop,then drag unzipped folder to mod enabler, then activate, most mods you can get from file front that are zipped....hope this helps

If you've installed SH4 into the "Program Files" folder, then Vista is putting your mod files someplace else to "protect" your system. If you'll install the game in a folder outside of "Program Files" (or better yet, on a different hard drive from Vista, if you have one), then your problem should go away.

I'm no Vista expert, but I also believe that you can solve the problem by running JSGME (and any other program that places a mod into your mod folder) as administrator.
