Having trouble building asset bundles for VAM in Unity

It's been a year since I played around with VAM and Unity, I previously made the Money asset bundle so I've had this working before (thanks to MacGruber's tutorial) and haven't changed anything (didn't uninstall Unity, still using the same project file I used before).

Now, when I put prefabs into the assetbundles window and click 'build', nothing happens. No progress bar dialogs, no busy icon in the bottom corner. I can hear my hard drive make some noise like it's reading/writing somewhere, but I used windows explorer to search everywhere and the file isn't being created as far as I can tell.

Here's what it looks like for reference:

Then the build tab

Am I missing something easy? I tried changing the compression, the export folder, changing the name of the bundle, and even tried exporting old stuff that I've already bundled in the past. Simple, solid objects like a $1 bill won't export.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know why I didn't think to look there, I feel kinda stupid now...

So this is what it shows when I first launch the project

This is what it shows after I try to build an asset bundle

So the 'PathCreator' compile error needs to be sorted out.
I deleted (moved) the PathCreatorEditor.asmdef & PathCreatorEditor.asmdef.meta files from that location and I get these errors on startup, plus the asset builder and VaMExporter windows are missing without them

I put them back and now I'm still missing the asset builder and VaMExporter windows.
It's still throwing the 'reference to non-existant assembly 'PathCreator' error.
I don't even know if the PathCreator is a Unity asset or part of the Asset Builder or VaMExporter.
If you don't know what to do I'll just have to rebuild it all from your UnityAssetBundles-Project-20200307.zip and hopefully that'll fix it.
Thanks for you help, let me know if you have any ideas.

That seems like a good idea. Not sure what PathCreator is either, this is neither from ProBuilder nor my own plugins. Possibly it came from some asset you are trying to import?
 
I don't know man it's been a year since I've used Unity. I don't think so, I just opened my old project and tried bundling some of the old stuff I made that I never got around to making into a bundle a year ago.

Thanks for your help though.
