Well, first of all your Mod Manager isn't up to date, you should always report issue with the last version installed. Second, you shouldn't store the Mod Manager in a OneDrive folder since it does a lot of read and write operations. If after all of that the issue persist, please let us know.

[PlatOmegax]

It's done it with 1.2.10 as well so I tried a different version. Where do I put the exe btw it's always worked in a folder on my desktop so just curious where am I actually supposed to put it

[PlatOmegax]

I tried putting the file in the game folders in steam and it's still giving me the amrita error on 1.2.10

[Sora-yx]

Can you run it as admin and see if the issue persist?

[PlatOmegax]

It does both in the unzipped folder and game folder

[PlatOmegax]

Any update on what I should try as it seems others are having a similar issue

[PiKeyAr]

Others, like who? I've personally never experienced this error on any of my systems, and I've not seen reports of this issue outside this thread.

The handling of this particular error in the Mod Manager's code does not produce details on the exact exception that occurred, but the error suggests there could've been a problem trying to write a file or folder. It could be that Windows is preventing the Mod Manager from creating folders or writing files.

[PlatOmegax]

Is there a way I can uninstall the mod loader and start over?

[Sora-yx]

Delete SAModManager.exe then delete the folder SAManager in Appdata -> Local.

Thank you so much I apologize for the trouble that fixed it
