Hello, I decided I would try to download mods for the first time. I have version 1.11 of Stardew Valley so download SMAPI 1.9. When I try to start it, it shows the error message I have attached. I did some research and tried two suggestions I saw, one was to delete the file in question, restart the computer then re-add it to the folder. That did not work. I also tried downloading Process Explorer and looking to see what programs are using that file and it only shows SMAPI (picture also included). I tried closing that down and reopening it and still nothing. Please help!!

Come ask for help in the #modding channel on the Stardew Valley Discord, and we'll help you figure it out. You can also post in the support forum thread, but it'll take longer that way. :)
