Installing Dorset Coast

[DarthMunch]

Hey all.
Having a bit of grief on Dorset Coast 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

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

Well thanks for the reply, but i can extract the file so i sholud be alright. The installme.bat just says 0 files copied

and has the 'Dorset' folder been added to the Programme files > Microsoft Games > Train Simulator > Routes folder?

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?

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!
