The first thing you'll probably do when trying this tool for the first time is move your currently installed addons outside of your 'real community folder' to put them in your new 'custom addon folder'. To avoid problems, please try first with a single addon only to make sure everything works fine for you.It would be sad if you move 200GB and then you notice it does not work for you. Files placed directly in the new folder should always work but, for some users (not the majority) the files moved might get encrypted if you have the MS-Store version so it's worth checking before. Thank you.

 

note : for the detailed changelog, please check the 'changelog' tab at the top of the page, below are just general informations

Addons linker / Addon linker

** added 2021.06.06 **

new version, finally a little map for all those who requested it, hopefully some of you will find useful.

Please check the what's new (changelogs) for info on how to use the map (it's simple but still 2-3 things to know). I also added a little head up towards another addon manager that you might find interesting.

Hello

Another little addon manager. Made to match my own needs and just sharing with the community.

I tried to keep the UI very simple but it should hopefully do the job 'feature-wise'.

- lets you organize your addon freely in folder and subfolders in your folder of choice
- will create links in the community folder. There is no need to move files in and out of the folder.
- very easy to activate/deactivate groups of addons (single click)
- lets you save presets of addons
- lets you rename addons (link will be automatically updated)
- lets you add / update / remove addons

Installation :
- just extract all the files and drop them in a folder of your choice and run the EXE file

usage :
- create a folder where you will put your addons, add your addons in there instead of putting them in the community folder, you can create as many subfolder as you want to organize your files efficiently
- launch the application, in the options screen set your 'addon folder' and your 'community folder'
- just click on the checkbox to activate/deactivate addons
- rest should be fairly easy to understand (little quickstart guide should be coming soon if needed)

notes :
- if it doesn't work please try to set the application to run as admin, if it works but you still get the message at the start, just disable the message in the options screen
 -i was made aware that other tools seem to do pretty much the same things but probably with some differences (have not tested them though because i learned about them after mine was released last week), anyway each has probably its own advantage and it's just free and just for fun, so you can freely decide to use mine if you find it useful.

big thanks to the guys in the AVSIM forum that helped me testing the very first versions with feedback and ideas. I will now post it here exclusively making it easier to maintain for eventual updates.

Thank you

The "Open addons map" button is not working for me on my main rig, but it works on my laptop install. A small window opens up but it is all white and unpopulated. Does anyone else have this issue?

I always use administrator mode when I open the program. I've tried reinstalling the linker but nothing has changed. My Bing map key is fine, so I'm not sure what's causing this problem. Bad2000, sorry to bother you with an issue that might only affect me. 😊

Whoops! Nevermind! I got it to work. I deleted the Program Data folder on my C drive and the linker recreated that folder. After pasting a copy of my presets back into the Program Data folder, then filling out the initial startup page, everything is back to normal! I'll leave this note here in case anyone else has issues with the addons map. 😊

hello, no it's not only you 😊 .. it's a little bug that can happen usually if they are some monitor changes (like going from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2). The map Window might be restored outside of the boundaries of the screen (can also happen with the main screen). There are some info about it in the FAQ. By deleting the INI file you fixed the issue, but it would have been possible to fix just by deleting 1 entry in the INI file (the one starting by 'Map_Window_Position=') to keep all other settings. Feel free to recontact me if needed.

Hi.

I'm sorry to say the tool does not work on my Windows 11 system.

It opens in the setup window and the new addons window shows addons but the community folder window is blank BUT when i click the folder icon in the title bar it opens the folder ans hows content.

The addons in the left window all have a star icon, none with a red disk, or green if i enabled.

No links created.

Running as admin. had 3 re-installs using different instruction (they were the same though...)

Really frustrated..

Any advice?

I have a similar problem after switching to Windows 11. The addon starts (optionally requests admn rights) and then puts a blank window in the task line.

I have been using the AddonLinker successfully and with great delight under Windows 10.

hello, your problem is probably very different than the one of the original poster, it seems like you have just the screen showing outside of your monitor boundaries (you will find some info about it in the FAQ). Please try this and it should fix the issue -> make sure the tool is closed -> open the INI file with notepad (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\MSFS_Addons_Linker.ini) -> locate and delete the 3 lines at the bottom that start with 'Window_' -> save the INI file -> restart the tool and it should be ok. Let me know.

Great tool and makes sorting and storing mods WAY more organized. That being said, it seems like 'mods' that don't have proper json files (or any json files) - such as FBW's SimBridge (flybywire-externaltools-simbridge), don't get linked. Can this be fixed? When added manually, the linker shows the folder but says:

"<could not read manifest.json file>"

Otherwise, amazing work!

hello and thank you for your feedback, yes that's normal, the tool just links MSFS addons and, by definition, they all have a manifest.json files otherwise they are not considered addons by the sim. This is also needed because the tools needs to recognize if a folder is an addon or not (so that you can create subfolders to organize your addons). If you want to link tools or other folders that are not really addons (like simbridge), a little workaround that you can use is just to create a fake manifest.json file (just copy one from a real addon so that it has the correct format and change the description) at the root of the folder. You will then be able to link it. Let me know if something is not clear, thank you.

thank you for your feedback appreciated. When you update you will not loose your settings, just download the new zip and extract it in the same location as before overwriting the existing files. The settings are save in the 'C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker' folder (the presets are also saved there unless you manually changed the location in the options screen).

having a bit of a tussle at the moment. Addon Linker is putting the shortcuts into my community fold just like it is supposed to. But MSFS will not recognize any of them.

I just had a hard drive crash so this is brand new copy of MSFS but it is the same copy of linker that I was using before the crash.

I don't really think this is a linker problem but I am bewildered just what kind of problem it is.

I would appreciate any advice.

I havent tried myself but i think you can disable default handcrafted airport inside the sim via the 'content manager'. If you want to try, with addon linker you use the 'content.xml' editor (in the tool option) and you can set a particular addon to be disabled, just uncheck it and then click ok. If i'm not sure about this is because i think they made changes in SU10 about the content.xml file so i'm not sure if what i just said will still apply if you have already the SU10 beta or when the new SU10 will be available for everyone. I have not installed the SU10 beta so i don't know for now.

Hello and thank you for your feedback, appreciated. I'll check if it's possible to add that option in a future release (probably possible). As a workaround, if you filter the data in the grid below the map, only the addons matching the filter will be shown, so if you search for some particular text (like the name of your folder) or if you filter via a column like (country=France) you will have only the filtered elements on the map (not exactly what you want for sure, just a little workaround maybe).

Love this tool to manage all my TB's of addons. Thank you.

BUG in current version found. If you have invalid links and select the ones you want to remove / delete is only deletes 1 not all selected.

Tip / Wish if I could go to file location of the addon if you select it in the World map section.

if I could select to enable of disable all addons per country would be sweet.

hello, thank you very much for your feedback, appreciated.

a) if you select multiple addons selected (right view) the option 'delete selected invalid link' is not available. There is another option that is called 'delete all invalid links' that should remove all those invalid links in only one click. I just tested on my machine and it seem to work as expected, maybe you do something differently, please send me some screens showing me exactly what you are trying to do if you still notice something that doesn't look quite right.

b) in the grid below the map there is a column named 'Folder' that shows the path of the addon, if you can click inside the cell of that column and it will open the folder containing the addon. The row matching the addon is also automatically selected when you click on a dot on the map.

c) if you do a filter by country in the grid below the map, you will see only the addon matching the country on the map. Then you can draw a big square (keep SHIFT pressed + right click) around those addons to select them all in one click and then enable them. There is also some pre-made filter options in the top-right side panel. The latest dev version also have 'polygon' selection that let you draw a shape around the addon you want to select. If you want to try i can send it to you.

Let me know please when you have experimented a bit with those options (feel free to msg if something is not clear as it was a bit shrunk for these small msg boxes) to see if they can help a bit or if you would need some more changes. Thank you.

I use a utility called MakeRwys to create datafiles for ANOTHER program I use called PF3. With the links being what is actually in the folder will it still allow MakeRwys to correctly compile scenery?

yes, the links are seen by the Windows system like real folders so there is no difference for the programs reading those folders, they will see them as just like normal folders and everything will work fine. Now, obviously, if makerunways scans the community folder, you need to have your links active before launching the scan because if the 'linked folders' are not there it will not see them (obvious).

It wouldnt let me leave you your 5 Stars because i had just downloaded it, But i get how to use it now after watching a youtube video tutorial! I love the added plus that you can turn on and turn off an addon that you may not want to have load when you start the sim, which should make the sim load easier without having to search through unecessary data! Thank you you very much for coming up with this!

Hi bad2000,

Have just installed Addon Linker for the first time, but can't get any of my addons to work in the sim, despite addon linker placing the links in my community folder.

All of my addons show 'could not read the manifest .json file' in the Title field. This includes addons not bought via the Marketplace, such as my OrbX addons which were installed in to the community folder (not linked to it in theway OrbX Central gives you the option).

Any ideas, as atm I have no addons working, whether scenery or 'planes! 😞

hello and sorry for the trouble, this is very unfortunate but i think you may have the problem that a few had before that if you move your addons outside of your community folder they become unreadable (nothing to do with addons linker, just some stupid security windows feature that seem to affect some people with the ms-store version of the sim). The readme and the first description line of this tool on this page talk about this, it's very important to test first with only a few addons to make sure everything work fine because if you have that problem and already moved 100's GB of addons it's not very funny. It's a bit complicated to go into to much details in these small messageboxes, i will send you a private message.

hello, do you see the icon in the windows taskbar ? if yes, it's probably just the window being restored outside of the monitor boundaries (can happen at time). This is documented in FAQ and there is a little procedure that should fix it -> make sure the tool is closed -> open the INI file with notepad (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\MSFS_Addons_Linker.ini) -> locate and delete the 3 lines at the bottom that start with Windows_xxx -> save the INI file -> restart the tool.

let me know if that doesn't fix it because maybe you have another problem, thank you.

Hello bad2000,

I love this addon. MSFS would be another game for me, I have more than 2000 addons ... Imagine managing them without having AddonsLinker!

So - thanks a lot for this great application!

Not only do I have a lot of scenery files, there are also many library files and dependecies from other addons.

As there is no documentation I have one question:

As I understand so far dependecies have to be set manually for each and single addon. I refrain from that task!

But is there a way to scan all the (scenery files) in order to find which dependecies they have? And mark them as such?

For now I always have all such library files and dsepency candidates activated.

But this is a lot of stuff blocking my poor computer's memory.

It would be great if finding all the dependecies would be only a mouse click away ...

Thanks for considering this - and maybe realising it?!

hello and thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately i don't think it's possible to determine automatically that an addon needs a dependency, that would require deep scanning of the BGL files and i'm not even sure that it would be enough. Sometimes dependencies are not even mandatory, if they are missing the object will just not show up the sim, but i really wouldn't know how to find out automatically if an addon uses another addon or not. Your idea is obviously a good one, but i don't think it's doable (at least not with my knowledge).

There is an option that was added recently (can't remember exactly) that let you right click over a library (for example 'daves3dpoeple') and then specify all the addons that use it at once by using the 'set this addon as dependencie of other addons' option (might be a bit faster than doing it the reverse way by selected the main addon first). But then obviously i certainly understand that if you have already 2000+ addons and you have never set any dependencies it would be a bit painful to know exactly which ones to select. But you should start from now on, when you add or use an addon that has a dependency just put it in the program, takes only a few seconds and, in the long term, you will gain by using that option.

Letting them always activated can also be a solution, for that there is a column called called 'persistent' that will let the addon will remain activated even if you apply a preset that does not contain it. There are also 2 little buttons at the top in the toolbar that let you enable/disable only the 'persistant' addons.

Oh well message ended up being too long, hopefully it's not too confusing 😊 .. feel free to msg me if you need more help with some of those features.

I call this a quick and profound answer! Thank you!

Well, scanning files automatically, that was what I thought. That it would be the BGL-files, I assumed. But when you say this might not be enough, I forget about this.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer and for your hints. I don't know what to do with them in the moment, though.

Maybe I'll give them a try and will see ...

In any case - thanks a lot!

BTW:

your AddonsLinker is really a musthave for this sim!

Backlog
Suggestion, bugs and ideas for the future.

  • Version 0.16.8183.20 May 28, 2022

    Very small update to fix a few things and add a few more requests.

    [NEW] New 'Check for duplicates (ICAO)' option in the 'Tools' menu that will check for duplicate airports in your addons folders. Note that, as always, encrypted marketplace addons can not be checked, this is not something that can be bypassed. Not sure if there's interest, but if needed maybe i can add little option where you could enter manually the ICAO of those marketplace airports that you own so that they will be checked with the rest and appear in the result list if you have a custom addon for that same airport.

    [IMPROVED] The 'program launch feature' now includes a new option that allows you to launch an external program only when an addon is selected (for example launch AIG Traffic Controller' only when the 'aig-aitraffic-oci-beta' addon folder is enabled in the tool).

    [IMPROVED] you can now print the map if you want to (right click menu on the map the use the 'print' option, the visible part showing on your screen will be printed)

    [FIXED] fixed some colors issue when using custom colors or themes

    [FIXED] some more little fixes here and there

    As always, when updating, make sure you replace all files included in the zip and not only the EXE (some other files are changed from time to time and it's the case with this release)

    Thank you

  • Version 0.15.8156.23 May 01, 2022

    A mini maintenance release just to fix a few minor issues add add a few specific requests, and hopefully a useful improvement in the 'launch external programs' feature, see example pic --> https://i.imgur.com/AmW4Lnu.png

    [IMPROVED] Overhaul of the 'launch external programs' options. If needed, go through your existing programs and adapt the settings as needed (right click 'edit' to change the parameters for each program). Custom arguments, custom delays, waiting for simconnect, process priority and affinity can now all be set for each program individually

    [IMPROVED] You can now add custom folders to be scanned for the documentation browser, there is a little button at the top-right of the screen. (For example if you want to add your MD80 docs just add the 'C:\Users\<your_username>\Documents\Maddog X Files' folder as custom folder).

    [IMPROVED] You can now add/remove multiple tags at once via the new 'Manage tags for the selected addons...' right click menu option. Note that this needs to be improved to be able to remove 'tags', for now it just add tags, should be available in the future version.

    [IMPROVED] It's now possible to enter multi-line descriptions for addons.

    [IMPROVED] If you have multiple 'addons folders', you can now choose in the options screen if you want them to be sorted by 'name' or in the order you have introduced them in the options screen (note that this option has no effect if you have saved a custom layout that includes a sorted column)

    [IMROVED] If you have specified batch files in the auto-launch programs, the 'black command window' will not be shown anymore when executing the batch

    [IMPROVED] Custom description can now be used as map dots tooltip, the description column has also been added to the map screen grid.

    [IMPROVED] Some little improvements for the recently introduced new 'black' dark mode

    [FIXED] MaterialLib/ModelLib scanner could hang when reading a layout.json files containing errors.

    [FIXED] Documentation browser was sometimes not refreshing the documents list properly after applying a filter or doing a search

    [FIXED] The first item of the main view wasn't always properly selected and focused when launching the tool

    [FIXED] The renaming of the 'description' column had no effect if a custom layout was saved (via the option 'save columns/order size). The renamed column was also not renamed in the other screens (gridview / dependencies and preset editors)

    [FIXED] The 'Load preset' argument was not working properly if used at the same time as the 'startsim' parameter

    [FIXED] The usual little fixes here and there

  • Version 0.14.8141.41 April 16, 2022

    oh well yeah, i will never get it right the first time, so here is the little hotfix as usual ... sorry for that ;)

    [HOTFIX] new 'documentation browser screen' was not opening properly due to a little last minute change that was not tested on a PC without development tools

  • Version 0.14.8141.35 April 16, 2022

    Hello,

    Nothing major but just a little update mainly to fix a few little bugs and add a few requests. Thanks as always for the feedback and ideas.

    [IMPORTANT FIX] Fixed a possible issue causing the main screen to not appear correctly if the decimal separator was not set as the dot (.) in the Windows regional settings

    [NEW] : Added an 'Addons documentation browser' allowing access the PDF documents of all your addons in a single screen without the need to go hunt for them in subfolders (all addons managed by the tool + all the addons in the official/onestore folder are processed). The documents will also be avaible in the main view in the right click menu 'Documentations'. You need to launch the new screen at least once to scan the data the first time (button at the bottom). Example screen here -> https://imgur.com/Q1Ww275

    [NEW] : Option to launch the tool only with the map (options screen -> 'map options' tab). You can restore the normal UI with a little 'show main window' button available in the right side panel of the screen when needed.

    [NEW] : new experimental darker dark mode (it's called 'black'). You might need to change some of the 'coloring' option in the options screen to match with the darker interface.

    [IMPROVED] : you can add now multiple dependencies to several addons at once. Select multiple addons in the main view and then use the new option in the right click menu called 'Add cumulative dependencies to the selected addons'. You can then choose the dependencies that will be added to the ones the addons might already have.

    [IMPROVED] : if you want to set an addon as dependency of several other addons you can now use the new 'Set this addons as dependeny for other adons' option in the right click menu

    [IMPROVED] : map dots can now be colored based on the TAGS you have defined (available in the options screen 'map options')

    [IMPROVED] : Content.xml editor, you can now quickly move entries up/down by using the keyboard (SHIFT+KEYUP and SHIFT+KEYDOWN). A warning is shown if you made changes and are closing the screen before saving. You can now disable the automatic 'backup file' creation.

    [IMPROVED] : For the ModelLib and MaterialLib changer screens, you can now disable the automatic backup file creation. You can now also specify if you want the log to be automatically saved in a file (files will be here -> C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\Logs). Use the 'options' tab to enable or disable those options.

    [IMPROVED] : you can now save the layout (columns position / size / sort order) in both the dependencies and preset editor screens

    [IMPROVED] : new option in the 'options screen' to choose if you want both the dependencies and presets editor screens to open with all nodes collapsed (by default they are expanded). If collapsed, the first level will still be expanded unless you have several custom addons folders specified.

    [IMPROVED] : Map 'user points' can now be deleted and modified. There is also a new option to import points but it's very basic for now, just create a CSV file with 3 columns 'name;latitude;longitude' and you will be able to import the data to the map. If you need more with this feel free to contact me directly.

    [MINI] : Added a little button in the toolbar at the top to autofilter the potential duplicate addon names (button with the 'warning' image)

    [MINI] : if you have added several 'addons folder' in the options screen, you can now sort them automatically with a little button 'Sort folder' button

    [MINI] : added some possible arguments when launching the tool ('preset=nameofpreset' to launch the tool and automatically load a preset / 'startsim' will launch the sim and all specified programs when launching the tool / 'startsimandquit' will launch the sim with all specified programs without starting the tool)

    [FIXED / IMPROVED] Several other small fixes and changes here and there

    [NEXT] Next i will try to improve the 'automatic program launcher' that needs a little overhaul, it's not ready to be included in this release but it should be coming fairly soon (possibility to add arguments to the program, 'wait for simconnect' and 'delays' settable for each programs individually).

    Some of this might sound a bit too technical, but don't worry they are just options for those needing more advanced features, you can still use it the same way as before, nothing has changed for the main features.

    As always let me know if I broke something and i'll try to fix quickly. Thank you.

  • Version 0.13.8037.42 January 02, 2022

    hmm.. no comment, another litte fix. It came to my attention that some people changed their default preset folder to be the same as their addons folder. The backup process backups the preset folder (should be only a few tiny-K) but if you have set it to be the same as your addons folder it will backup all your addons .. this explained why very few people thought the application was hanging, it was probably copying lots of file.

    If you have changed your preset folder and saw long loading time the first time you launched the version of december 31st, please check your C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker\Backup folder. It will maybe contain a backup folder that takes lots of space and that you can safely delete to preserve disk space.

    [IMPROVED] Backup process now backups only the small files needed even if the folder contains tons of other files.

    Sorry again for the multiple releases ! This backup option added on dec 31st was probably my worst idea of 2021 ahah :)

  • Version 0.13.8037.33 January 02, 2022

    Hello,

    HOTFIX of the HOTFIX

    BIG SORRY for the multiple versions in a few days span, sometimes it's just a bit more complicated than it seems :)

    I have had a few reports of users that were stuck on the loading screen with the latest version because of the newly implemented automatic backup process. This probably occured to less than 1% of the users but still a fix was really needed.

    For info, the backup process only backups some very small files just to make sure you don't loose your configured data (ini file, presets, custom data).

    [CHANGE] The automatic backup process is not enabled by default anymore for EVERY users (even if you already used it), please enable it again in the options screen if you're interested in that feature (i think it's a good idea to have it enabled).

    [IMPROVED] the backup folder is now configurable

    Hopefully this version will be ok for everyone and 'hotfix of hotfix of hotfix' will not be needed for a while :)

    Thank you for your support and special thanks also to the guys who helped me debug this issue.

Frequently Asked

Questions? Find your solution here.

How to install / update ?

Simply unzip all included file in the zip in a folder of your choice. For updating, repeat the same process after deleting the files that came with the previous version.

Will my settings be kept after an update ?

Yes, the settings are saved in a different folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker). The presets are also stored in that folder by default but they might be in another folder if you changed their locations in the options screen (so make sure you don't delete them if you changed the location manually).

Can i save the columns order / size ?

yes, there is an option for that in the right click menu (save columns order / size). If you do that, the column order will be restored on the next restart of the tool

After launching the tool i see the icon in my taskbar but the screen does not show up (main screen of map screen), WTH ?

oops, the tool saves it's locations when closed. If you change monitor settings between 2 sessions (for example going form dual screen setup to a single screen setup) it might happen that the screen is restored outside of the boundaries of your current screen, so it will be there but you wont' see it :)

You can fix that easily by going to the configuration folder (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker), open the ini file with notepad and remove the tree lines below :

Window_Position=
Window_Splitter_Pos=
Window_Splitter_PosH=

If you have the problem with the map's screen you need to remove this line :

Map_Window_Position=xxxx

On the next restart the app should show up correctly on your screen.

I'm getting 'can not read manifest.json file', addons do not work when moved outside of the community folder

This is unfortunately an issue some users having the MS-Store version faced. When addons are placed in the community folder they are somewhat encrypted (not exactly sure what Windows does). When you move them elsewhere, they don't work anymore. It seems to be a Windows limitation and there's not much we can do. For some users copying the addons instead of moving them fixed the issue but that doesn't seem to work for everyone. In the worst case you would need to redownload the addons having the problem and place them directly in your custom addon folder.

If you have the MS-Store version an plan to move all your files outside of the community folder, i strongly advise you to try first with a single addon to make sure it works. There are also some workaround you might try if moving doesn't work for you (feel free to contact me if needed).

I have a crash when .......

please send me a private message on this site (there is a little option 'private message to bad2000' in the action menu on the main addon page) with the detailed error message that you get. I'll do my best to try to fix

Can I apply multiple presets at once ?

yes, you can do that either by using the 'presets screen' available in the toolbar menu, in that screen you can select several presets and apply them at once. You can also use the button 'apply cumulative' at the bottom of the addons list. That button will apply the selection of the presets without removing the currently selected addons.

I get invalid links if i rename / remove addons via the Windows Explorer

this is normal because if you do operations via the Windows explorer the links can not be maintained (for renaming for example there is an option directly in the tool's right click menu, if you do that inside the tool the link will be maintained by the tool). Anyway if you get invalid links you can delete them easily with the right click menu 'delete invalid links' on the right panel (they can be spotted easily because they will be with a red background), then just recreate the link for the desired addon.

Where is the manual ?

there is none .. shame on me for sure ;) It should be fairly easy to use though and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

There are also some videos about the tool that have been popping up on Youtube, they can certainly help understanding the basics (many thanks to their authors).

Donations ?

Thank you very much about thinking about making a donation. I really appreciate that but it's ok, there's already so much stuff to pay for nowadays, just enjoy the little tool if you think it can be useful for you and don't worry about money.

How to uninstall everything / start new ?

To remove completely the application you need to remove two folders.

- the folder in which you unzipped all files

- the configuration folder that is created automatically when the tool is run for the first time and where your settings are saved (C:\ProgramData\MSFS Addons Linker)

if you do that it will be like if you had never installed the tool.

Do I really have to launch the tool 'as admin' ?

The real reply would be NO. But well, it's a bit difficult, the more precise reply is 'not anymore since v0.8' but YES if you have already used older version of the tool.

Unfortunately it was required for earlier version (because the tool was creating links that needed admin rights, now not anymore). The fact that it was required in earlier versions means that now your configuration files are saved 'as admin' and if you run the tool 'not as admin' you wouldn't be able to update them so you are pretty much forced to continue running the tool as admin. It's a bit annoying.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info and don't want to run it 'as admin' anymore because it would be as simple as recreating your configuration files without admin rights.

Why do some addons show up in red ?

The red color is just a warning (everything will work fine). It indicates that you have two (or more) addons with the same name in different folders. Those are probably duplicates that need to be checked.
