Can you add information on the OS used?

Guessing from the screenshot it might be Windows in which case I recommend to follow the steps at [1]. It's not the exact issue you're seeing (which I've actually not seen anywhere before), but the general steps should apply here, too.

Hi,

I got a similar error when installing some extensions into 'C:/Program Files/Inkscape/Extensions' by mistake, instead of installing them to the folder listed in the Inkscape Preferences>Input/Output>System: "User Extensions" (see Preferences in Inkscape).

To get them working again I uninstalled Inkscape, afterwards there were two folders left (I believe one of them was the extensions folder). So it's important to delete the folder 'C:/Program Files/Inkscape' (with some left subfolders) after uninstalling Inkscape, and only then installing Inkscape again. That helped me to get the extensions running again.

Can you confirm if it helped?
Thanks.
