Solved it! If you have problems installing Kerbal Engineer, more specifically, you get greyed out items that says that you need to research them before use (which of course you have), it's because you have the old files in the Kerbal Space Program folder. From 0.21, it was in <game directory>/parts/<parts directory>. If you edit the config files here, adding the lines mentioned by other posters ( TechRequired = start entryCost = 0 ), and save the config files, you will once again be able to place them. You're welcome
