A sudden flood of bugfixes has pushed me to release a new version of the CKAN client (to be fair, a few of them have been in the dev branch for some time) Ayan4m1 is back from hibernation, and making some great contributions, but I have to give special props for this release to @HebaruSan, who has been making some great contributions both in code and metadata, and has joined the CKAN team. An excellent first contribution also by archer884, moving downloads outside the timed transaction for installs, which should prevent a few issues where a transaction fails simply because a download is slow.

It's likely just me but I can't seem to find ckan.exe in latest build. I'm starting with newly DLed clean version of ksp on windows and DLed the .zip version  from github

It's still being built. Should be there in a few minutes. Ignore the .zip unless you want to build the code from scratch.

CKAN 1.22.3 had a new record for us of 145,936 client downloads, which as was noted earlier in the thread, pushed us over 1 million total downloads! Massive, massive thanks to the great @pjf and every other CKAN contributor individually and collectively, and especially to all of you users for putting your trust in us to look after your precious KSP installations! I am awed and humbled by it all.

 

Sorry for the delay. The ckan.exe file is there now!

So, I just went to install the latest CKAN update, and when it was at nearly finishing, it crashed.

So I decided to try to launch it and it says this:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

Note, I'm on an admin account, and previous to updating, it was working.

Now, I try to go under the Control Panel to uninstall, but then, it's not on the list, so I tried to do it manually, and claims I need admin perms to remove the file (CKAN.exe) and refuses to do it, even if I click OK.

Anyway I can fix?

I don't understand why you people want to run CKAN as administrator. It is indicative that you have some serious issues with permissions on your PCs, that are not CKAN's fault. 

You should not be running CKAN as administrator!!!!!!! 

CKAN is not "installed" in the sense of a regular Windows app; it is simply an executable file that you run as required. Your ordinary user account should be able to run such executables on your own machine. Save ckan.exe in your user directory and run it from there. If it doesn't prompt you to select your KSP installation, open up RegEdit, Go to CurrentUser\software\ckan and delete everything, then try again, adding your KSP installation from scratch (select the BuildID.txt file, not the folder)

You should not be running CKAN as administrator!!!!!!! 

You should not be running CKAN as administrator!!!!!!! 

You should not be running CKAN as administrator!!!!!!! 

I don't know how seriously I can stress this. I believe CKAN is a safe application, but you are giving your entire computer over to an unsigned program downloaded from the Internet. This is such a bad idea that I am frankly astounded that anybody even considers it!

Why, in the name of Dog, are you running CKAN as administrator?
I hope this is not your usual user account, I thought that kind of foolery died with Win'98, when M$ stopped encouraging it.
Running as admin by default means anything you run has the ability to compromise your entire system, and will almost certainly lead to permissions issues at some point.
People doing this is half the reason Windoze is such a juicy target for malware and viruses. Don't do this. Bad Idea doesn't even begin to cover it.

This ^. x900. Gah.

This is not CKANs problem. It's a permissions problem caused by running as admin.
I'd suggest inspecting (and fixing) the offending file permissions, possibly from safe mode. Ask google for details.
Then again, if it were me I'd probably just nuke the whole OS install from orbit...

My CKAN says "Cannot find *insert mod* entry in zipfile to install" in some of the mods I try to install, or saying "Too many mods provide *insert mod*" if I try to install especially SVE, EVE or DOE. I have a completely clean GameData folder, and it haven't had mods ever. So is it a problem with CKAN 1.22.4, because it has never happened in previous CKAN versions?

The latest version has serious problems with SSL/TLS connections when downloading from Spacedock. Currently I am not able to download anything from Spacedock via CKAN.

No, spacedock's SSL certificate expired today 2017-10-15, I assume they'll have it in order soon.

I ran into this problem too, myself.

Failed to download "https://spacedock.info/mod/219/StageRecovery/download/1.7.2" - error: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Out of curiosity is there a way to temporarily tell CKAN to ignore this error accept all SSL certificates?  I thought the there was some kind of flag you could pass to the .Net libraries.

I tried installing the expired SpaceDock certificate to my Windows certificate store but not sure that actually did anything.

Appended EDIT: FYI 1.22.3 behaved nicely when the SSL error came up, but I think (?) there might be a regression as all I did was drop in the new CKAN version (1.22.5) and now I get a Kraken exception right after it hits the SSL error :-S.

I think that was the issue.   Good excuse to run my regular pruning of old cert files anyway.  It seems I had a couple dozen old files which have either been revoked or expired (likely expired.)  Several companies have consolidated their lower security keys under their high security keys as they expire now that it has been established what level of security is sufficient for a 20 year root key.

By using a secondary key signed by the root key for most key signing purposes, the use of the root key can be reduced and limited to a small amount of high-entropy data making it very hard to crack.

I guess I'll wait for SpaceDock to update their key then.  It should take around 48 hours, considering it expired on a weekend.

Getting an issue with CKAN crashing when selecting a mod that causes a popup (eg Distant Object Enhancement and any other that pops up asking you to choose a config). It's fine until I hit the 'Apply Changes' and install. I then get a crash saying:

**EDIT**
I should add that selecting the dependency config file first and then clicking on DOE or EVA, etc, it installs fine

Running into a lot of trouble with the latest CKAN.   1.22.5

1. The check boxes are very slow to click to select some items - for instance, which mod you want to install.  2-3 seconds of latency between click and checkmark appearing.

2. When trying to install Realism Overhaul - I get an error about "Too many mods provide RSS textures".  There are 3 RSS texture packs, and you have to pick one - this has always worked afaik.
