If you are getting error messages about missing DLL files, you need to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.

This is not 100% accurate - specifically, you need 32bit version (x86) even if you have 64-bit Windows. I installed 64-bit version (since this is usually the way to go - if I have 64bit system so I am downloading 64-bit version if they are available) - and the mod manager would not work.

Direct link (worked for me, but it may be temporary): http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU1/vcredist_x86.exe

Other than that, great work!

Thank you for the info. I've added it to first post.

I have also assumed that x64 version would include both x86 and x64 redists.

Yeah, me too. That is why I was absolutely stumped when it did not work. As a last ditch effort I decided to install 32bit version (I was absolutely certain that I will see message: "This software is not compatible with your version of Windows") - and it worked.

I have all my mods merged together inside DataPermMods - so what is my best course of action? Should I move/delete/rename "DataPermMods" folder and then unpack all original mods into separate directories inside "DMM" directory?

Exactly. Best to rename "DataPermMods", so it won't interfere, and you will be able to restore it if something goes wrong.

Ok, and what about conflicting files? They will be overwritten by the "last" mod in the 'queue'? (i.e. if there are conflcting files in mods number 1 and 2, then files from 2 will be used?

I know this is an early version but it would be great if some future version would have some kind of information/warning "mod [xxx] and mod [yyy] both contain files [zzzzzzz]".
