installation problem - new set up

[jpfeifer]

That is a common issue if you try to run mod files stored on cloud drives, see e.g.

Error terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::filesystem_error'

Are you on Windows? Can you copy the file to a separate folder on your disk where you have full write permissions. That folder must not be a network or cloud drive and should have a short path length. If you do so, can you still reproduce the error?
