Can't Activate Crossfire in FLMM because of error in xml script 3407

I've been dying to play this mod for years, but only recently switch from a Mac I ran Freelancer on in Crossover and couldn't run Crossfire to a PC that can actually do it. Buuuut, I can't activate the mod. Looked everywhere on this forum and elsewhere for solutions, but can find none. Any help? The error itself is a single character changer of the file city_maneuvertab1.cmp to _city_maneuvertab1.cmp with the only change being the underscore at the front. All of these .cmp files lack the underscore. Should I just change all the file names? I'm hesitant to do so without someones advice.

I'm happy to provide any assistance I can in solving this as I have always wanted to play more Freelancer past the campaign. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 2.0 Client Edition'.

Error: script.xml:3407: SHRenameFile failed ('D:\Applications\Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE\BASESIDE\city_maneuvertab1.cmp' to 'D:\Applications\Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE\BASESIDE\_city_maneuvertab1.cmp').

It is installed there with that exact directory name. The crossfire mod appears in the mod list on FLMM and I have the option to activate it. But when I do, it gets near the end, stops, and then this error appears.

How can I make sure I have permission? I already start FLMM as an admin because it won't open otherwise. Do I need to tag the entire directory? If so, how do I do that?

It does. That's why I listed the file name. I've looked at the file. It is there, it just doesn't have that underscore for whatever reason that it wants it to have.

Unless you mean in the flmm mod outside of the mods folder?

It does not. The one in the Crossfire folder is city_maneuvertab1cf1 and the one in the Freelancer folder is city_maneuvertab1 and neither has that underscore.

If it's a permissions problem, how do I solve it? I'm the only profile on the computer, and I'm already running FLMM in admin. Do I need to do something to the Freelancer directory, or the crossfire directory, or both in order to have write permissions?

Also, I appreciate the help!

So it still isn't working unfortunately. I've deleted the Freelancer folder, and the mod manager, and the crossfire mod, and reinstalled them all. Both flmm and freelancer in just in drive D: and not below any other directories. I made sure the mod manager was connected to the right directory, put crossfire inside the mods folder. Went to permissions for both flmm and freelancer and changed permissions to add full control (Both already had write permissions though) and yet, still no cigar. Exact same outcome.

In both folders properties I gave full control, and I unchecked the read-only box. However, after it failed again, I checked the properties and the thing had rechecked the box. This happens every time. I apply the changes, close the window, reopen it, and the box has been rechecked.

Gonna be honest Marek, I have no idea what your instructions are Delete everything using CCleaner and install using a mod script as well as placing crossfire in the flmm mods directory?

I cannot at all I can't activate the mod. That's the problem.

I don't understand your instructions. Can you clarify them in bullet points maybe? Talk to me like I am the stupidest brick you've never met

Well as wise as that advice is, it is unfortunately unhelpful since I have already installed all programs (Freelancer, FLMM, and Crossfire) appropriately and they still are not working. Unless you know for certain that the issues I'm describing are because of an incorrect installation.
