I'm sure this can be fixed.

Rather than trying to run MSTS from its own icon (which will fail if you use Trainstore) unstore everything in Trainstore, then run an activity from Trainstore itself - this is how it's meant to be used.

have you set up Trainstore properly, so that it knows the location of MSTS? Go to TOOLS/OPTIONS/MSTS FOLDER....

You need to ensure that Trainstore has administrative privileges - failure to do this will result in the

At the risk of sounding unhelpful (which I don't mean to be) I think you need to understand more about how Trainstore works - have you read any of the manual?

I think you haven't really given it a fair go to be honest.

You install MSTS into say c:\train simulator
You install Trainstore into the default location.

You then run Trainstore - it should automatically detect your MSTS installation and then asks you for a storage folder
you select c:\trainstore

(note that it needs to be on the same drive as MSTS) and then all should work fine (but remember also that it needs to be a brand new folder that does not exist, or just one that is empty).
