Game Setup Error

[dechurch]

Trying to set up Mechwarrior 5 and Vortex couldn't detect the game, so I went to find it manually. Somehow in tabbing between windows, the setup got aborted and now I can neither activate the game nor tell it to stop managing the game to start over.

 

Telling Vortex to stop managing the game gives me this:

 

Failed to purge mods for this game. To ensure there are no leftovers before Vortex stops managing this game, please resolve any setup problems for the game first.

 

Trying to activate the game gives me this:

Have you tried manually creating the folder the first line of the error is referring to?

It occurred to me. Dunno why I didn't. I just did and it doesn't throw any errors when I activate it. Problem solved maybe?
