Guys i can't install the march ext kernel. Bizzbob installer crashes and the default one gives a lot of errors

Try installing it manually as described in the guide and skip 32-bit files as many users reported problems with them.

I would also recommend to install the March 6 version, not March 9 because it is more stable.

Did the March 6 version install successfully for you?

Manually installed it

Automatic file permissions repairing .bat

If you go for manual installation of the extended kernel you will have to fix file permissions for all files you have replaced. Now, instead of doing this manually, you can run the following .bat:

October 2022 x64:

october2022_x64_extended_kernel_set_permission.bat

I may do .bats for newer versions too if errors in March 2023 builds get fixed.
