Problem with installing an activity in TS-PRR

giuliano

Hello to all of you.
I'm Giuliano from italy and I'm new on this forum.
In the first, let me to make congratulations to Belanger and Zosa for their beautifull products. I've recently buyed several sets and I'm enjoying that.
Well. My problem is about "ztBdwyPt1" activity for TrainSimulator-PRR. I installated that by following the installer-instruction and TS-PRR works very well both with explore route and with the default activitys. Yesterday, I've downloaded "ztBdwyPt1" from relevant section of this forum, but It is no possible to install that. In fact a window appears with the following words: " This package requires a route calles PRR Eastern Region, UID PRR EAST REG". TS_PRR is regurarly installed so as TSUnpack. Are there somebody able to help me for solving this problem? Is it possible there is a particular way to install activitys in TS-PRR?
Thanks in advance and my best reguards to all of you.

Ciao Giuliano,

did you install the PRR route in its own MSTS (like recommended in the installation instructions)? If so, then you have to edit the Windows Register to point to that installation.

If you have the route installed in the default MSTS location, I couldn't tell what's wrong.

Did you install the tsunpack.zip which is a fix for the default tsunpack? It is available in the downloads at trainsim.com.

Hope this helps.

Hello Rob and thank you for your kind reply.
I installed PRR route in own Train Simulator folder like recommended in the installation instruction. But how can I edit the Windows register to point to that installation? I don't understand that. Sorry.
Yes. I installed tsunpack.zip. I noticed there is no folder Utils with tsunpack
into it in the TS-PRR. I copied and pasted Utils folder from MSTS default into TS-PRR but it is impossible in any case to installe activity.

If you're not sure how to edit the register you better stay away from it. If you tell me where exactly you found this activity I'd be happy to unpack it for you and send you the folders which you can copy and paste in your PRR route.

If you know how to open the register and make some changes in it, I could tell you how to do that in Vista. 64.

BTW: some activities are deliverd with both the .apk file and the ROUTES and TRAINS folder. I'm not sure about the one you mentioned.

Hi Giuliano,

I just sent you a pm with the folders for this activity. I forgot to mention that I got a message from MSTS the act was made for another version of the trackdatabase. Most of the time this is no problem, but there's a small change you get some so called "broken paths". To be sure make a backup of the PATHS folder from your route.
