Copying files is only half of the job---the .bin files would now be in the *right* place to match the builder's setup, but the files those .bin files reference will be those in their original folders. In short 98% of what you've copied is just sat there taking up disc space and not being used.
If you run the route through RW Tools it'll tell you the track is present, as RW Tools will find the various .bin files (it doesn't examine them internally, just checks that they exist where they're supposed to) so to do the job properly you need to just copy over the .bin files the route calls for, and then open the files to get a list of what else you need to copy. Once you've copied those files over you should edit the .bin files to point to those copied files, rather than the ones in the IOW folder.
That though raises the issues of
payware shape files potentially being distributed, and to be honest there really should be no need to *borrow* those assets---even if they're reskinned the track rule should ideally point to the reskins in the *donating* route's assets folder tree. That saves either a long list of stuff to copy, or a bespoke and potentially bothersome .bat or .exe installer having to be used.
JanVick, you say the RouteProperties.xml file is missing?.... you may have such a file but it has to be in the place that the route expects it to be, so make sure the file you can see is where the route is looking.
