Hey all.
Having a bit of grief on Dorset Coast :o I have dowloaded the complete files and now am stuck on where to install them. I followed the readme installation procedures but when i installed to C:\ i couldnt find the files :-? I havent got win zip because my pc doesnt like it so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris :drinking:

have you got win rar, this will unzip/extract the route for you and put it in the default directory, if u not got it in default directory u have to put it in manually. Remember to click the install.bat file after you done this or it wont work. If u not got winzip or winrar then i dont think you will be able to use the route or in fact any route as u need to unzip the files.

Sorry if this doesnt help

Can I suggest that you re extract them to a folder on the desktop (called Dorset) then move the folder to the ROUTES folder in the MSTS directory. Then re-run the BAT folder.

Have you looked at my support pack avalible on UKTS?

Regards

James.

Hi Tom,

Are you installing from the CD and upgrading or are you installing the complete downloadable pack?

Ah I know a solutin I think.

Some spyware clients and antvirus/firewall's block the bat script that runs. Diable any of them that are running and try running the bat file again.

I remember it happened to me when i originally had TM and Dorset!
