For the Binary field, browse to your Wrye Bash installation and select the Wrye Bash.exe application. Uncheck Close MO when started if necessary. Click the Add button. This will add Wrye Bash to your executables list. Now each time you want to run Wrye Bash, simply select it from the drop-down menu at top right and click Run. Wrye Mash has been around for years, originally developed and maintained by Wrye. There have been a few versions since, as well as couple of forks. Nowadays, Polemos' fork is the recommended one: it integrated important modding tools such as MLOX and tes3cmd and is actively maintained. I am not a Wrye Bash expert, but highlight the mod that is red or orange and look on the right side in the middle. It should list the Master files for the mod. Look for the the red or orange color there and make sure you are not missing a master file for that mod. Also make sure the master files are listed in the right order for the mod.
Wrye Bash can appear daunting at first. To help make it more manageable, the documentation has been split into a few readmes that are targeted towards different usage requirements. This readme covers only the most commonly used features, so that the average user can start using Wrye Bash without being overwhelmed.
Wrye Mash is a general purpose utility for managing and repairing mods and savegames. Currently it is the only tool that systematically prevents doubling. It combines multiple mod-management capabilities making it one of the most strongly recommended utilities for both modders and players. There are now several versions from which users may choose. All offer the same functionality for handling installer packages, mods and savegames through a GUI (With the exception being the Wrye Mash GitHub Fork by Sharlikran and Wrye Mash 2018 fork by Polemos which have more functionalities). A tutorial (in pdf format) is available from vermin.

About Wrye Musings
Wrye Musings primarily hosts my Morrowind and Oblivion mods, utilities and tech notes. Morrowind players should jumMost viewers will find the Wrye Bash (Oblivion) and Wrye Mash (Morrowind) utilities to be of most interest. However, you'll also find several other minor and major mods here – several of which are considered to be must have by many experienced players.
In the future I may have a small amount of material on the gaming business. (No, I'm not in it, but I'm considering it.) See Gaming Business for that.
About Wrye
What Is Wrye Bash Skyrim
Wrye is the famous Monkey God of Modding (for Morrorwind and Oblivion games that is – Wrye has to maintain a pose of some humility or the other gods get on his case). His earthly form is that of a Japanese Snow Monkey. He likes to hang around in mountain springs along with all of the other snow monkeys, surrounded by his harem of 'Lara' monkeys. For more info (and the all important Zookeeper's Warning) see Wrye@UESP.
PS: The name isWrye, like 'Rye'!
Status [12/5/2009]
I'm retired from Oblivion and Morrowind modding. I am considering going into the gaming business, but not in the usual way. Rather I'm particularly interested in what I call 'mega modding' – a business model built specifically to foster/reward very heavy modding. I plan to post more about that later – just as soon as I beat World of Warcraft. (I.e. five years form now. ... Well hopefully sooner.)
Wrye Smash 使い方
News Flash: World of Warcraft is very addictive! Especially to somewhat obsessive monkey gods. I'm not sure it was a good thing for the hot springs managers to add internet connected, waterproof high rez PCs at the hot tub. Well, probably I'll slow down once I have all 9 of my characters to level 80, with fully leveled professions, etc.
Project Status [12/5/2009]
I'm very pleased to see that several of my long time projects are being carried on by other folks now that I have retired. My immediate plan is to continued to host docs here for those projects. I would like a more permanent open source project management solution. Which I will work on as soon as I beat World of Warcraft.
Site Status [12/5/2009]
I'm in the process of rebuilding the site. Main slowdown at this point is that I need to update all of the mod doc files to point to the new site and then upload them to one of the favored mod download sites. And of course, world of warcraft playtime!
