modman.cfg is the config file... You're supposed to double-click on the .exe or .jar.

You don't need to "run" modman.cfg. Modman.exe automatically opens the file and reads it when it runs. If you mean you need the EDIT the modman.cfg, then just run a very simple text editor.

You know you can change the configuration settings (like treating zip files as ftl) by running modman.exe and clicking on File then Preferences?

did not know that thanks for the help

Edit: ok I allowed zip files, but when I clicked patch I got this

Patching failed:
java.io.FileNotFoundExeption: c:\program
files (x86) \FTL\resources\data.dat
(Access is denied)

(I typed this out and didn't copy paste so capitalization could be wrong

I read the readme_for_windows.txt and it said nothing about this error. tried deleting the resource.dat.bak and data.dat.bak but it just took a few more seconds to get the error

I am using windows 7 if that effects anything

Did you go to the first post in this thread and read what I said, though? I think that would fix it for you.

Same instructions for you. Both of these are happening because only the administrator has rights to modify files in the program files folder. So follow those instructions and you'll be fine.
