ModuleManager 2.6.7 crash-load

[Blomst]

Not entirely sure what my options are at this point -- I'm at the point where I've executed a full de-install of the game; including deletion of the steam common KSP folder, with subsequent reboot. I am curious if there are any other file cache or folder locations outside of steam->common (other games have used My Documents, or home/temp, etc.

KSP: v1.0.4.861 Windows 32bit

Windows: Windows7 64-bit Service Pack 1

Problem: Running app yields a crash at "Module Manager"

Mods installed:

ModuleManager.2.6.7.dll

<That's it! - only the default install Squad folder sits in gamedata>

Tailing the output_log file yields one clue -- that the module manager might be erroring on a sharing violation of the running ksp executable ?!? That or is there an expectation of ModuleManager to have a configuration or other file, or a run time parameter to the ksp executable I may be missing?

The master folder in steam common has read-only de-ticked, with subfolders inheriting the allowance.

I am also unable to turn off DEP for the KSP.exe or launcher.exe -- windows informs me it is not allowable for me to turn DEP off.

It looks like a permissions issue when it is trying to access files. This can happen when KSP is installed inside the Program Files folder (or in some other places like the desktop or My Documents). I suggest you copy the whole of the Kerbal Space Program folder from where it is to somewhere like C:\Games and try running it from there. This will also cause you less problems when an update is released. You will be able to let steam auto-update its copy and choose when to start playing it without it causing problems for your installed mods.

Hrmmm, this is already the case - the installation is in a subdirectory at g:\steamlibrary g: and NTFS structure on a Thunderbolt-2 external connection. To be certain, I copied the entire superstructure to c:\KSP\ and ran the KSP.exe -- and receive the same condition - crashes the load at ModuleManager. Tailing the log below:

How are you running the game? Just running KSP.exe directly? Can you upload a complete output_log.txt? Do you have any active virus protection? If so, try turning it off. I think that ModuleManager is trying to generate a SHA checksum of the KSP.exe and some other process has it open (the fact it is running shouldn't prevent what MM is trying to do but another process, e.g. a virus checker, could be either accidentally opening the KSP.exe with sharing disabled or deliberately stopping the process from opening the exe again for security reasons).

Also, try looking at the right-click Properties of the KSP.exe and ModuleManager.2.6.7.dl and see if there is an enabled "Unblock" button. If there is then click it.

I have a solution which works for now; in both locations. R-Click ksp.exe, tab -> compatability, tick 'run as administrator' to ON and I load up fine. Given that this computer has no function other than games (all my email, downloads, file shares, etc. are via MacOs elsewhere,) I am fine with the executable running in priviledged mode.

This thread can be changed to solved.

odd - a post is missing. Solution -- ksp.exe, right click - under compatibility tab, I chose to run the executable as administrator.

IOException: Sharing violation on path D:\Games\KSP104\KSP.exe

Same problem.

Also, try looking at the right-click Properties of the KSP.exe and ModuleManager.2.6.7.dl and see if there is an enabled "Unblock" button. If there is then click it.

ModuleManager.2.6.8.dll was locked. But it not really helps me

Solution -- ksp.exe, right click - under compatibility tab - run the executable as administrator

Nope. Nothing changed!

UPD: IT LOADING!!!

In my case, I have problem, oddly enough, with firewall, PC Tools Firewall Plus (not ad).

Why and how it affects - I do not know, but the game starts, only when I deleted/uninstalled it.

I think, it may be antivirus too. Fortunately, I have no antivirus that could do such a things.
