Make sure 'Enderal - Forgotten Stories.esm' in enabled on the right side.
When enabled, it automatically loads 'Enderal - Forgotten Stories.ini', which in its turn loads all the BSA archives Enderal needs.
Also check if these archives are indeed present in Enderal SE\Game\Data. If they are not, run the installer again.

Thanks for the attempted help, so the files are there in the data folder, I've right click and enabled the esm on the right side, but that didn't do anything for the bsa files, they've stayed unchecked like there. I haven't changed anything besides enabling that from what was automatically set up on the portable instance that was created from running the installer. Trying to launch it still says that they are unloaded.

This has nothing to do with these checkboxes, you can ignore them. You _are_ missing important BSA archives, re-run the installer.

I think your Windows firewall might have blocked the installer from downloading those files.
You must have these files in your directory:
E - Meshes.bsa
E - Misc.bsa
E - Sounds.bsa
E - Textures1.bsa
E - Textures2.bsa
E - Update.bsa
L - Voices.bsa

That solved it, everything downloaded right and it works now, firewall had been blocking the installer from working right. Thanks for being patient and the help.
