An Alpha version such as 0.50 is in very early testing - and is in no way stable. You download that at your own peril. That's why the alpha is closed.
When you downloaded NMM, The top line on the download page shows it is an OPEN BETA Then, the first line in the description is,
One of the most popular mods for Fallout 3, and my setup guide has to include this so people can get it working with NMM:
NMM ONLY: Must turn these 3 archives into 1 Before adding & activating:
Extract all 3 into a new folder called Data, being careful with overwriting order (hotfix last).
Right click folder to create an archive from it, and add via NMM clicking "add mod from file".
kinda miss the old 'non profiling' build.. any chance give us option to disable profiling feature and just make NMM doing things like the old ways?
Anyway, what happened was as soon as I ran the alpha after installing it it copied all the mods I had currently installed into a separate profile folder, essentially halving the available space on my hard drive. Whether this was intentional or not, that's enough to keep me from updating NMM.
Keep up the brilliant work!!
