Snip....
Have tried just copying the whole installation to Drive D.
When you try to run the Drive D install you get a " programme not installed properly message " (not exact wording)
The install on a removable drive sounds worth investigating. Don't have a large enough external drive at the moment.
Thanks for the suggestions

Which you will get from most programs if the are just copied across and not installed separate. The installed program writes to the registry of WinXP and Vista and usually only allows one instance of a program to get installed.
Check out my answer
here to a similar question.
If you install the same program a second time, even in a new partition or hard disk, the program assumes there is something wrong with the first install and will uninstall it (if programmed to do so).
By copying TRS04 across, you still can start the second version of it by clicking on its TRS04.exe icon and also install CDPs to it, providing you link it to the path of the version of TRS04 you want it installed (the .cdp file that is) and have the .cdp file separate.
When you click on the CDP, the first screen you get, on the bottom left of it, lets you direct your .cdp install to which version of TRS you want to install it to. You might have to direct it to it. But to do so, you have to d/load your content as a .cdp file to install it this way.
Or if you installed CDPs to your installed version of TRS04, copy the relevant Kuid folder of the content you require across to your copy of your other TRS04 and delete the chump file in your TRS04 cache from
where you just copied the folder to and ignore any "not installed messages". I do this all the time to my 4 TRS04 copies on my PC.
FYI, why I use 4 copies of TRS04, the first is the original install I generally use to just drive/play around it.
The second one, as I am a content creator, I use to check and try my created content in with minimal or next to no extra content for a fast startup of it.
The third copy is where I create and build my monster route still in progress of some 250-300 boards with only the content for it on it. Otherwise it would take a longer time to load as it does now.
The fourth TRS04 is my back up version of the route building version as well as I also do back ups of all my created content and work in progress to an external 500GB harddisk. They all start up when clicking their relevant .exe files.
Btw, I use WinXP.
