Extracting the mods

[CloudRipper]

I don't know if there has been a thread already created regarding this problem, and if there is then I would love to be shown it so I can figure out the problem and fix it. I have tried repeatedly to extract a few of the mods after downloading them using a free zip file opener and repeatedly get "Unable to extract files to current directory due to access limitation - please try a different directory" so I don't know if Im doing something wrong, or if its the opener I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It sounds like you are trying to extract too what your extracting from.

Ex: if you was using winrar you would right click on the mod and choose extract to

My guess is that KSP is installed in the Program Files folder, which requires elevated permissions for writing files. Try right clicking your .zip extraction tool and selecting "Run as Administrator", it should be able to extract the files then.

If this is the case, I would suggest moving your KSP folder elsewhere; not having write permissions to the folder can cause problems with some mods.
