I've tried the suggestions already given about helping OR find mini installs but have had no luck. It may be the way I setup my installations. On an external, non-C drive, my installations are . . . .

F:\Program Files\Feather River(for example)\Train Simulator\(all the usual folders/files).

I have 11 minis setup the same way. Would it help if I moved the minis out of the "Program Files" folder and deleted the "Train Simulator" folder from each of them?

Second question; on the opening screen what "folder" is OR looking for? At this point it lists the level below "Program Files" but I can't get beyond that.

Thanks!!!!!

Bill

Bill,
Your best approach is to use the plain old Windows menu, not the fancy one. Has OR found your default MSTS installation? It's not clear from your post. Use the ADD button. It should open another window called "Browse for Folder". From there you can navigate to any drive on your machine. I have about 7 min-installs plus a major default installation, so the window now shows the default + 7 minis as 8 different instances.

I'm about the same way as Chris. My main MSTS is on drive C, not in My Documents and my mini installs are on drive C as well, but I had to use the 'old' original menu to set it all up so OR could find all my routes.

I've brought up my own issue on this before. I cannot get beyond this point when trying to open a mini install using the Add... button:



Thanks.

Tim,
Would you mind attaching the full OR log file? It would really help in diagnosing your problem.
Thanks

Chris, thank you. But there isn't one, it never gets far enough to write a log file. At least there isn't one on my desktop where it usually appears after running MSTS default.

Have you tried to DL OR a second time? I'm now wondering if maybe you got yourself a 'bad' copy or faulty DL or something.

Tim,
The "folder" OR wants to access data is for saved games. It appears something is blocking the OR software from accessing this folder. Can you check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Open Rails" and that a file named "folder.dat" exists?
Thanks

Chris, I checked and the folder.dat is there with this in it:



Could I type in the names of my Mini's here?

[longiron]

Yup, you could, let me ask one of the developers what the syntax is for the data.
