ive managed to sort it, the answer is in the download screen, it has to be unzipped twice into the routes folder, then unzip parts 2 & 3 into the route folder, then run the install me file............................. :D

Thaxted is a Problem.
Zip 2 contains another zip that can't be opened..
MAYBE needs winzip10 ?
YES it did need winzip 10. I copied all 3 zips out to the old computer, which had
an old winzip 10 running out of date but off line. this opened all the span zips and produced
another folder "thaxted". This I copied back into the new computer, and put in MSTS route
folder. When I run the Bat file, The Thaxsted route installed and tested AOK.

I'm sorry to hear this.

I originally uploaded the route as three separate zip files for manual installation. Neutronic kindly transformed them into the spanned zip files that made the installation job a lot simpler. It seems that this no longer works now. Because I didn't produce these files myself I don't exactly know how to fix this, and would appreciate if someone could help out.
