Vortex cannot install mods.

Hello! I have been modding Skyrim for many years and just now returning. Decided to go ahead and try out Gate to Sovngarde collection through Vortex. I followed all the steps, clean install of both the game and vortex. However when I download the collection, I receive thousands of error messages for every file. 

Installation failed (see first screenshot)

and Failed to install dependency (see second screenshot)

I have tried pausing and resuming the installation and that is yet to fix anything. 

This is extremely frustrating as I have paid for premium to install this modpack and the software does not work. I have searched and searched online and cannot find anyone with similar problems. How can I fix this? 

The modpack is completely downloaded. It just cannot begin installing anything. These error messages popped up throughout the whole download process and are still popping up on the installation process

And no I did not install Vortex manually. My main suspicion is something to do with file permissions? My steam folder with Skyrim is located on my C drive yet the mod staging and download folders are inside appdata roaming folders. Maybe this has something to do with it? What I am guessing is that vortex needs to move the files from Downloads to Mod Staging folder, and something is preventing that. I'm no computer savant however.

My first attempt I had Vortex installed in the default location in Program Files. The second attempt I just put it directly into a folder I created in my C drive. Although, now that you mentioned it, I recently installed the most recent C++ redistributables as instructed on the Gate to Sovngarde instructions. Perhaps something went wrong with the download? Thanks for the help and reaching out to my PIckysaurus, I'm going to try checking that out when I get home. 

 

When it comes to the permissions, I found Vortex.exe, right clicked, went to properties, and in security I enabled all permissions, that didn't make a difference. Are there any other files I can try that on?
