Reinstall Trainz+

[coop2]

My Trainz+ is very much messed up. I would like to delete all my Trainz and reinstall. Can someone tell me the best way to do this. I'll be cleaning up my computer at the same time. I have found all the different versions of Trainz that I have downloaded in My Trainz page. Do the different versions build upon each other or are they completely seperate?

I am thinking they should have separate data folders, as newer versions will have assets that are not compatible with the older versions. It works great to have older assets in newer versions, but not the other way around.

I would like to delete all my Trainz and reinstall.

To reinstall Trainz Plus I would go to the MyTrainz link above then select, under the sub heading "Product Downloads", the link to Download Trainz Plus.

I would then choose the relevant installer (Windows or Mac, Full or Online). My preference would be the Full Installer which I would save on a backup drive so that I would not have to spend the time and online ISP charges downloading it again should I ever need to reinstall it again. You will need to run all the SP and build number updates that have appeared since that installer was made available.

The only significant issue could be the fate of your current Trainz Plus User Data Folder. A reinstall will create a new randomly named User Data Folder but, unless you have deleted it in a cleanup, the original will still be present. If it is present then you can simply redirect Trainz to the old folder via the Trainz Settings Install tab. The new folder could be retained as it would be an ideal test bed for testing routes and sessions to check if they are free of DLC (e.g. "Packaged") and third party assets that will create problems for others if you upload the route to the DLS.

My thoughts.

pware thanks for the help. Nice to hear from you again. I still have 'TrainzPlus-Offline-Installer-126280.zip' Would this work?

Good to see that you are still "steaming ahead" at full throttle.

I still have 'TrainzPlus-Offline-Installer-126280.zip' Would this work?

It certainly should and it is the latest Trainz Plus Windows build so no updates or patches will be immediately required.

Again I thank you for your help.

Everything loaded ok. Now I just have to download routes, sessions, and items that I really will use. So all is well in Trainz+ RR land!
