The 2k launcher errors out when I try launch the game with the mod installed. I tried both the new and optional versions but both failed. It might be a conflict with the HD textures mod but I'm not entirely sure since I didn't try it on a clean install of BioShock.
Yeah, I pretty sure the 2K Launcher is the issue. Tried using the 1.2 Glow version of this mod on a clean install of Bioshock Remastered Steam build 8552765 using TFC Installer v2.3.8.0. Had no problems installing the mod, but the game crashes as soon as I hit play on steam.
Even disabling the 2K Launcher in steam settings the crash persists.
As a test, I deleted everything in the 2K Launcher folder in the game folder but steam will automatically reinstall 2K Launcher.
Interestingly, by deleting the 2K Launcher folder and allowing steam to reinstall it, I was able to actually get into the game with the Vitastat mod installed.
However, the first aid kit model has bugged textures and meshes and I have no idea how to continue testing this mod.
All of the other bioshock mods Pipboy900 made work perfectly, but my uneducated guess is that the 2K Launcher is messing up this one.

I just tried installing this mod today and I'm encountering the same problem: after hitting Steam's "Play" button, the Bioshock banner pops up but then the game crashes. Uninstalling this mod via TFC fixes the issue.
And this is after 2K removed their launcher from all their games, so I'm not sure what to do other than to not use this mod, which is a shame.
EDIT: Whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem to be the TFC installer but this specific mod. The reason why I say that is because I tried installing the Manual Vita-Chambers mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/bioshock/mods/102 ) through TFC, and that seems to install fine. With that mod installed I can get into the game. With this med hypo mod, however, the game crashes when I try to load it up.
I hope the mod author comes back to this one day as I'd like to try out this mod eventually.
Figured I'd copy and paste this here to update you guys.
For anyone wanting this to work and not CRASH !!!! Download from the old files section, it will be called Red Cross Version UPDATED. The other old file doesn't work I've tried them all!!! This is the only version that actually works in game and doesn't crash. Works perfectly. THIS IS THE WAY !
EDIT: Nvm it does in fact glow ;) But when I launch through the game on steam, it seemingly doesn't work, so launching the actual BioShock HD.exe as admin worked for me though, not sure a little confusing but it does work

I'm currently not into BioShock Modding. Too hard and time consuming and I'm too lazy to change my mods every time a new version of UPK Explorer gets released. Feel free to take my files and adapt them to your needs. It would be nice to credit me though.
Excellent. Could you explain how you managed to replace the medpack model with the med hypo one? I thought UPK explorer wasn't able to do this for the first 2 games.
