I get the 'Unable to get write permissions for fallout's installation directory' error. The only restriction is that you not set the directories to Fallout's game folder. The default locations are recommended, but you can specify alternate locations if you wish: for example, if you have a separate drive dedicated to FOMods. When you run FOMM for the first time, you will be asked where you would like to store your FOMods, as well as where you would like to store FOMM mod installation information. This is also true for users running Vista/Win7 with UAC.

While you are free to install FOMM wherever you like, the recommendation is to let FOM install itself in the Program Files directory. Whereas it was usual and recommended to install FOMM in the Fallout game folder, that is no longer the case. After installing FOMM, if you don't wish to continue using the pre-0.13.0 version, you can uninstall the older version.Д«ecause FOMM is no longer a mod manager for a single game, the recommendations for where to install it have changed since 0.12.x and older versions.

It will upgrade its log files as required. This version can be installed over earlier versions without any additional work. If your scripts don't derive from FalloutNewVegasBaseScript they will still work, but you won't have access to the new functions, and calling FOSE-related functions will cause your script to fail. The functions in the scripting language have changed to reflect the differences between FO3 and FO:NV (for example, NVSE instead of FOSE).
