Ckan: [Bug] Corrupted registry

[Unhunter]

Background

Operating System: Windows 10(10.0.0) 64bit
CKAN Version: v1.26.4-44fc515
KSP Version: 1.7.3.2594

Added manually in GameData folder:
RasterPropMonitor v0.30.6
FreeIVA v0.0.5
ASET Props v1.5.0

Problem:
Whenever I launch CKAN, I keep getting an error message with this text:

Unhandled exception:

Your CKAN\registry.json file got corrupted (in your KSP folder). Rename it to something else and try again.

Thanks, it worked out!

No information here about why this happened, unfortunately, since the errors only show up after the corruption occurs. If anyone finds steps to reproduce the corruption at will, please reply and we can re-open this.
