The “data error exclusive” message appears when MO2’s built-in FOMOD (installation script) or archive extractor cannot unpack a mod archive (usually .7z, .rar, or .zip).

This is part of MO2’s “data error” family, but with a specific lock-state nuance.

A "data error" can be literal. Bad sectors on your hard drive or SSD can cause exclusive access failures.

The Fix:

If your Windows temp folder is on C: but your mod staging folder is on D:, cross-drive extraction can fail.
