Hello all,
(I'm a newbie) I purchased Trainz 2004 (Version 2.4 - Build 2365) off the shelf a couple of years ago. My computer wouldn't run it at the time. (video card) I'm disabled and money is a factor. I recently purchased and installed a new video card. I downloaded and installed the latest chipset drivers and the latest video card drivers.
The game runs very well on my PC (User Built)
I just joined planet auran. I was building my first layout in surveyor and I have a lot of crossings but no roads to speak of. I went to the download station and downloaded some roads from the "Pre - Service Pak 3" section and saved them on my harddrive in a folder that I named "Trainz Downloads". Maybe I need service pack 3 - not sure yet.
When I click on the installation file for the roads, I get a message that "Trains is not installed on this machine. Please install trains before using this installer" - (maybe not the exact wording but pretty much it).
I uninstalled Trainz and reinstalled it. It's up and running once again just fine. However, I'm still getting the same message when I try to run the installer software from the user file download.
Sure would like to have a few roads for the autos on my layout.
Thank you very much (in advance) for any help or ideas to resolve this little situation.
Ps. I have asked about this through the help desk, but have not yet received a reply. I also did a search in the forum here but I didn't find anything on it or didn't do a proper search.
