D2R Steam version "Failed to read data files from D2 folder" - still after much troubleshooting #38

Getting D2R Steam version fails to read, "Failed to read data files from D2 folder." error
Target for Reign of the Warlock is checked.
Game directory target set to
C:\user\Steam\steamapps\common\Diablo II Resurrected
which is the correct directory for my Steam installation, which contains the D2R.exe

On Windows. Using 0.6.7 release

No other mods. Complete vanilla installation. 3.1.2 Patch , latest version
The key test doesn't work. Tried only key test. Then tried key test + changing starting potions, stack sizes etc. No changes work. Using command line argument in Steam to launch with mods.

Expected behavior is for it to not say "Failed to read data files from D2 folder" but it says that every time.

Ran d2modgen as administrator, double checked permissions on all folders. Still same error.
It creates the "rando" folder in the directory in the Mod folder, but no files inside folders except modinfo.json.

What could the issue or fix be here?

Edit: Tried it on a completely different computer with a different installation and same issue. "Failed to read data files from D2 folder"

Steam, vanilla no mods, windows, rotw, ran modgen.exe as administrator.

Edit2: I tried D2MM (the release on GitHub for the steam version, not the Nexus Mods version which is for Battlenet Launcher) and it worked.

So it seems this is an issue with d2modgen. I would love to use d2modgen instead as I think it's the superior, light weight program. And has the best options.
