I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 348, in python
  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 669, in python
  File "game/package_formats.rpy", line 29, in python
ValueError: (22, 'Invalid argument')

This error is produced by a file that has a time that Python doesn't like.

(I'm not sure how this could happen, but you should look for files with strange-looking times.)

It's the time and date of the file.

Ah Ok that makes sense then. How would I fix this then? Just remove that information from the files??

No - it's not _in_ the file. It's stored in the directory information about a file. You'll have to find the file that's problematic, and maybe re-save it?
