I figured it out. I should have read the first paragraph closely and clicked on the antivirus hyperlink. Avast quarantined my file and unquarantined it and made an exception.
Now I have another question that hasn't been asked and is probably stupid.
For the module editor. I have loaded a tsl module and everytime I attempt to move it takes an extreme amount of time to load. I am loading it from an ssd with 32gbs ram at 3600mhz busspeed. I am unsure if it is my system or lag in computing. I saw your video and it seems like I may be doing something wrong. how do you move? is it possible to have the module editor have a view that is similar to the kotor tool module editor? I guess the last one is similar to the .git editor but in the .git editor I can't create new items in said menu with the options that were in kotor tool.
for those who don't know, you can compare two gff files (.git,.ifo,.are,utc,uti, jrl etc) in tslpatcher for easier installation for when/if you post any mods. do save you .git elsewhere so you can use it to compare and update your .git to be compatible with other mods that affect the same module.
thank you in advance, this is an awesome tool that combined a bunch of other tools which is almost making my modding life so much easier.
