I get the following message: Threat blocked we have blocked satisfactory-mod-manager.exe because it was infected with IDP.Generic.

Adding exception does not fix the problem, because the message comes right back. Reinstalling does not work either, because it blocks the installer directly.

In Avast, turn off "real time protection", install SMM, turn back on. And it will hopefully work. Avast and other modern AV software uses pattern recognition in files to look for potential threats, which is basically an educated guess.
