the answer to your question is yes overwrite. It is just saying that you are adding some files to a folder that already exists. that is fine, just say yes.

If youve run the batch file more than once that could be ok :) The first part of the batch file deletes objects no longer needed and then it goes on to copy others. If you run it twice the second time the objects to be deleted have already gone so you get file not found errors.

Have you tried running MSTS again? If so what happens now?

Sorry, I assumed you had the installation already in your MSTS routes folder. Thats where it needs to be. It should be in a folder called Dorset in your routes folder. I think it has to be there before you run the batch file or it wont see the default routes of MSTS for the file copies :(

You should have unpacked the files there first :(

laurie,

I suggested to unzip them onto the desktop first earlier. It does not make a difference but as long as you copy the file to the MSTS directory, you will be ok.
