Got this error after installing some mods in CurseForge, can also provide list if it'll needed, before all of this I just clearly installed Windows 11, how can I fix this problem?

@h3x0rof

I need more information about your rig - what's KSPe is complaining is that, well, you are running KSP as administrator or root or similar (or at least KSPe believes you are).

Running anything as a privileged user is terribly, terribly dangerous. You are exposing yourself to being infected by malware, you need to blindly trust any software you run under privileged rights - and I need to remember you that you don't even know the real names of 90% of the people you run software from?

What are your running environment? O.S.? Do you use a Launcher? We need to fix the way you launch the game.

I'm running it from CurseForge, Windows 11 with latest updates(22H2), not running it as Administrator, moved whole Steam away from Program Files folder

By the way, I also tried to launch it from Steam(which opens firstly Launcher), directly KSP_64.exe(or how it's properly named), and every time I opened it in any variants, I was getting this message

@h3x0rof , thanks for the information.

I'm working on this. In the mean time, you can install the previous version for while where the check is not done.

I will come back to you ASAP

@h3x0rof , screw that. I'm releasing a new version with the check deactivated. It will be online in the next hour tops.

@h3x0rof , a new release for KSPe is online. I also updated the Modular Management on CurseForge.

I will keep this issue open, as I intent to resurrect the checking ASAP, but until there I need to keep the damned thing working. :)

Thanks for the heads up! Cheers!

Hello again, I probably found what caused that message to appear, I guess it was because I turned off UAC, this could cause to run every programm as Administrator, I really firstly didn't think about that days ago

Issue #56 implemented a (really awful) feature that could mitigate this issue on Windows with UAC turned off, but I still want to further work this to allow better granularity.

Hint: detecting if the hosting Windows have UAC and have it turned off, and then do something about.
