CKAN not working

[Nich]

This is my first time installing CKAN.  I am running XP 64

 

I get an error when attempting to connect for auto updates, but CKAN will start up.  When I get refresh to get the list of available mods I get the following error

"Connection to https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN-meta/archive/master.tar.gz could not be established.
Repository successfully updated"

 

The walk through mentions a mono ckan.exe but I can not seem to find it.

I found a guide to setup CKAN for XP

https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/Installing-CKAN-on-Windows-XP-%28Unsupported%29

but there a step I dont know how to do

• Import trusted root certificates from Mozilla into Mono's certificate store

mozroots --import --ask-remove

Is this just a command line?

[Nich]

well I figured that it is a command line but you need to change your directory to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono-3.2.3\lib\mono\4.5"

 

I completed the guide but CKAN still doenst work.  any suggestions?

Upgrade your OS. I discovered this problem recently. CKAN needs MS .net 4.5, which is not supported on Windows XP. CKAN won't ever successfully retrieve a repository without it, and WinXP will never be able to run it.

Well, at least that was my understanding, I could be wrong.

Edit: Sorry, I see now by your link what you're trying to do. My suggestion still remains to upgrade your OS though.

You'll eventually hit other issues with certificates as well as games that start to use newer frameworks and runtimes - I'm afraid it really is time to consider changing to or upgrade your OS to something supported.
