KSP crashes on start when using mods installed via CKA

[Celeblith]

I installed CKAN to make installing and updating mods easier, but when I install mods with it and then go to open KSP, I get a couple error messages, a unity error window, and the loading screen goes still for a moment before the program exits. When i uninstall all mods, i can open and play KSP again, and when I reinstall mods, I can open and play KSP once, but if I exit the game and then reopen it, the crash issue happens again and I have to uninstall and then reinstall all mods before I can play with mods again. Any likely culprits or just suggestions on what I could do?

Mods in use are:

Community Category Kit

Kerbal Alarm Clock

Kerbal Attachment System

Kerbal Engineer Redux

Kerbal Inventory System

Module Manager

Surface Mounted Lights

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

It's very unlikely it's CKAN.   Try installing Half the mods, see if it loads, and then half again, until it crashes.  You can narrow it down this way to the culprit mod. 

I can say the only two of that list I don't use, and my install is running fine, is community Category Kit and Surface Mounted Lights.   I'd remove those first and try again.

This is also assuming you have installed the correct mod version for the KSP version you are running, which I assume is the case since you used CKAN.

I don't know if this will help, but here's my log showing the error messages I got (I'm gonna try what you suggested and see if that fixes it. I'd hate to lose surface lights but it is what it is:

Log files do help, but we ask that you host them on a file hosting site and then link them here.

Your best bet is to isolate the mod that is causing the errors, and then ask for support in the mod release thread for that mod.

Also, digging through the log file you did post, it seems that you have miniVAC installed.  That is known to cause issues.  Try installing this mod to remove it:
