Hi all
Help please. I am trying to install the EM1_EM2.cab into the trainset folder. I have read the instructions over 2 or 3 times and I can't make sense of it. When I try to put a back slash in the name of the folder the operating system won't let me. How do I get round this?

Hi Steve
I think you've maybe mis-read the instructions in the readme file. You shouldn't need to place a backslash in the file name (and if you do, the operating system will reject the name as you've found) - the backslash simply separates one layer of folders in your MSTS installation from the previous/next layer.

Re: EM1_EM2 cab file
Hi Steve, looking at the instructions for the Cabview for the EM1_EM2 loco, first create
in your MSTS Trains/Trainset folder a new folder and rename it EM1_EM2.cab.
Once you've done this the open it up and create a new folder within it and rename that
just cab, now copy all the files that are contained in the download File below into the
folder called cab.
Once you've done that you can add the Files that are contained in the download File
below which adds stuff to the original Cabview.
The Cabview in any of this set of loco's uses a file called Acela.cvf and if you open
this up using Wordpad it finds everything it needs to create a Cabview in the Folder
you have just created in your Trains/Trainset Folder.

Hi Steve, glad that you have succeeded in getting the Cabview installed and this shows the need to printout
and follow the instructions in the Read-me carefully to get what you want.
