How to open SKSE file?
The main problem with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Script Extender Data is that the SKSE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SKSE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SKSE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in it.

Programs to open SKSE file
Remember to download programs supporting SKSE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with SKSE files
If, despite the installed application, the SKSE file does not start in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SKSE file with the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim program.
Step 3. Update The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim program, it is possible that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Script Extender Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Bethesda Softworks LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKSE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The SKSE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SKSE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SKSE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKSE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SKSE files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SKSE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SKSE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SKSE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SKSE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SKSE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SKSE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
