Failed to set profile 0.17.8

[KranosWraithe]

Have downloaded and installed Vortex 0.17.8 to try and run mods for the various Elder Scrolls games I recently purchased/acquired. When I try to set up games for vortex to manage mods for, the program adds the games to its "Managed" list, but an error flag shows up under the notifications tab "Failed to set profile"

 

Exact error details are copied from the message below. I have tried to follow the external link on github to see if there was a similar issue with a full description of how to fix this, but so far no luck.

 

Copied error is as follows:

 

Error: Could not call remote function 'getPath'. Check that the function signature is correct. Underlying error: Failed to get 'documents' path
