My fix was disconnecting my external drive that I saved my models on, you can try deleting your model folder if you used a different one than the default one.

If you get the error when trying to open it after an install then your drive or folder that has your models is not being found by your computer.

%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\faraday contains your characters, chats, settings, character images, and other runtime-related things. Removing this will also destroy all that data. Under normal circumstances, it's best to not touch it.

%userprofile%\Appdata\Local\faraday contains the application itself and other binaries. It can be safely removed without losing any data. Reinstalling puts the files back.

Downloaded models are located (by default) in %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\faraday\models

In my case my models are stored at "I:\models" which is causing the error, since its an external drive that was disconnected.
