| 10 | +### There're more than one MM Watch Dog on this KSP instalment! |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Well, somehow you managed to have installed more than one copy of this tool itself! |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Check `GameData/` for DLLs with the name "ModuleManagerWatchDog" on it and delete all of them - but the newest one. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### "There's no Module Manager on this KSP instalment!" |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Well, you need to install Module Manager! :) See the "How-To" below. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Check `GameData/` for DLLs with the name "ModuleManager" on it and delete all of them - but the newest one. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### "There're more than one Module Manager on this KSP instalment!" |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Unfortunately, from KSP 1.8.0 and above a fatal bug is affecting Module Manager when mode then one MM dll is installed on your system, what renders Module Manager choosing to use the **oldest** version to be used. This caused some problems to TweakScale at least one. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +There's no other solution available but to **DELETE** all redundant copies of Module Manager, leaving only one on the GameData. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +This was diagnosed on [TweakScale's thread](https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/179030-ksp-141-tweakscale-under-lisias-management-24314-2020-0519/&do=findComment&comment=3797945). |

| 30 | +## How-To install Module Manager |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +You have two options, each one with advantages and drawbacks. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Option I : Module Manager /L Experimental |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +This is my personal fork of Module Manager, aiming to fix some non functional bugs while keeping compatibility with the original Module Manager. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +* Advantages |
| 39 | + + Slightly faster, mainly on systems with less memory |
| 40 | + + Way better logging |
| 41 | + - But still lacking a thing or two. |
| 42 | + + Some fix from small annoyances or bugs, as long it doesn't breaks compatibility with the upstream. |
| 43 | + + It works on every KSP Version from 1.4.x to the latest |
| 44 | + - KSP 1.3.1 and 1.2.2 are work in progress, to be released soon. |
| 45 | +* Disadvantages |
| 46 | + + It's not supported by most of the Add'On authors |
| 47 | + - To tell you the true, I'm the only one supporting this stunt. :) |
| 48 | + + Some Add'On authors may dismiss your bug reports by using a non "official" Module Manager. |
| 49 | + + It has dependencies. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +If you are willing to risk your SAS, you can downloaded it from my github: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +* [Module Manager /L Experimental](https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/ModuleManager/releases) |
| 54 | +* Dependencies |
| 55 | + + [KSPe and KSP API Extensions](https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/KSPAPIExtensions). |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +### Option II : Official Module Manager |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Obviously, you can use the Official Module Manager from Forum. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +* Advantages |
| 62 | + + Lower risk of being your reports rejected by using non Official versions of something |
| 63 | +* Disavantages |
| 64 | + + Less conveniency on diagnosing problems using the logs |
| 65 | + + Some annoying misfeatures |
| 66 | + + You need to cope with this type of [bad behaviour](https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/50533-18x-19x-module-manager-413-november-30th-2019-right-to-ludicrous-speed/&do=findComment&comment=3742972). :( |
| 67 | + - Yeah, it was moderated, so... |
