Well, first, you should probably have read the documentation. ConvertXSI is running fine. It's a command-line tool that converts dotXSI files(from the XSI modeling program) into mesh files the game can read. All the needed information is in the Mod Package documentation.

Yeah, you can't just run it through Windows. Open a command prompt (run cmd). cd (change directory) into the folder where you've got ConvertXSI. Then type "ConvertXSI.exe .xsi .mesh --nooptimize". That should be it.

Luck pretty much has nothing to do with it. Head to the Downloads link at the top of the page and click the "Forge Tools [Beta]" link. The archive that downloads has the map editor, particle editor, a set of flat-text versions of a bunch of the stock games files, ConvertXSI.exe and ConvertData.exe, along with readmes and a set of PDF documentation, all neatly arrayed.
