To get these out of the way: yes it’s being run as administrator and no there are no duplicates.
All of the addons listed in Addon Linker, on a relatively fresh install of…well…everything, have a red circle next to them. Apparently this means the addon isn’t enabled. This isn’t ideal because I’m trying to add updated airports with ILS to ones in the sim that don’t. And I can’t for the life of me find a straight up “enable addon” button. There’s an “enable ALL addons”, but when I click that I get this:
Well if I follow the #2 error and try to delete that mod, it just moves on and complains about the next one. Repeat until everything is deleted (moved out) of the community folder. That just doesn’t make sense at all.
I’ve googled for “one or more links could not be created” - with quotes - but apparently nobody has ever asked about this specific error, and no documentation regarding this error message has ever been published before?
