If one associates .rpk files with the Rail Simulator Package Manager in Windows Explorer, one can unpack a package just by double-clicking on it. That makes it particularly easy to download items, since one can run the .rpk file from within a zipped archive without first unzipping it.
I have no idea why this association is not turned on automatically when Rail Simulator is installed: it would save all the official releases from having to include an .exe file.

Re: Easy way to unpackage files
I have Vista 64bit and after MK2 I can now install without problem when double clicking a rpk file. It may be the case that you have two versions of package manager ( in different folders ), what I did was copy the contents of the MK2 package manager into the original version so that any links I had would use the right version.smarty2 wrote:Trouble with that idea James it doesn't work with vista 64 just get a network path error. have to do the to'ing and fro'ing in package manager, mind you at least package manager Mk2 deletes your pak files!
