Yesterday I tried the mod (using the launcher) and my first problem was it doesnt work with 17.2. It also doesnt tell you any error if you select to copy the game from your folder and you have the 17.2. Even worse, the menu of the game once you start it says 17.1, which is false if you had 17.2
So if you havent done this before, delete everything from the mod, on your game options switch to 17.1 on the Beta tab, after it updates, copy the game and install the mod again (everything with the launcher). After that it worked for me.
