TES Construction Set Crashes On Startup!

[dudey405]

Heya, guys. I'm new to the Elder Scrolls modding world, but I am very passioniate about Level Design (although I am very new to that).

I read on the Bethesda Studios website about Job Offerings for Level Design that it suggest you have experience with GECK and TES Construction Set. Now, I'm not saying I'll get a job at Bethesda as a Level Designer, but I'd love that!

Anyways! The problem I'm having is that I can't get my TES Set to work!

I am using Windows XP

I'll let you know now that I DO NOT have Oblivion installed, but I can get it installed if that's the issue. The location of my TES Set is here:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion.

When I try to open up TES Set, there are the pop-ups about me not including the Stars, the Clouds, etc. because I don't have Oblivion, which I understand.

But when I click Yes-To-All (ignore the warnings), Windows closes the program. I don't know why it's doing this. My specs seem to have met the minimum requirements.

Can someone please help?

**NOTE** I tried working this on my much better computer, with Vista, and the same problem occured.

Probably because at some point down the line there's a "close program? y/n" option that your Yes to All is clicking Yes to. In short, you need to have Oblivion installed. You can't do anything without it.

You need Oblivion installed to use the CS.

EDIT: Damn, ninja'd by the lady.

Alright. Well, I installed Oblivion, and all those warnings dissapeared, so I am left staring at the start-up screen.

After a few moments, Windows closes the program again.

I am applying a 1.2 Version Update, so I will let you know how this works out.

You may find this handy:

Along with the rest of the CS Basics course which will walk you through the basics of the set from install to release ready.

Okay, so when I was at about 13 % with the update, the update crashed.

I honestly don't know what to do!

I'd reinstall it. Installing it before Oblivion could have messed it up.
