BRR will not work for me with BVE4. Why?

[Boxcars]

Sorry to have to keep this one going but I’ve spent hours and hours trying to get BRR to work for BVE4 and it’s doing my head in! I get the BRR window up and I’ve got two routes on the left side, the Uchibo and Maybank, and on the right side I have the 113_6 and the class 323. I’ve never had a problem with BRR using 2.6.3 with loads of routes and loads of trains to choose from. But I’m equally as keen to get it working with BVE4 and it just won’t. For example, I click on a Maybank route, then click on the class 323, the SELECT button becomes “live” so I click on that, then on Start BVE. The blue boxes at the top start scrolling from left to right like they do and then NOTHING! I notice also that I only have the BVE default signals. I’ve enjoyed using 2.6.3 for a year and a half now but I cannot understand why BRR doesn’t work with BVE4 or visa versa. Has anyone had a similar problem? Can anyone help me please?

BOXCARS:
It sounds like BRR is not finding the BVE4 executable program; make sure you've got the BRR configuration pointed to the correct BVE4 program folder & EXE file. Use Windows explorer to take a look at the files to make sure of their names. There should be a file named BVE.exe & another named BVE.exe.Manifest in the program folder; I renamed the BVE4 EXE file the same as the BVE2 EXE file so that the two BRR configurations were the same. Can you describe your BVE4 program/railway/train folder & file structure

Hi Ron,

I found BVE and bve.exe.manifest. What I've done is a file search for bve.exe and used PRINT SCREEN on the results. It's in the Word document I've just sent to you at your BVECOLORADO address. I did it that way because I wasn't sure how to mail it to you via the Forum. If I appear not to reply for a while I'm just off out. Cheers.

Ron,

For the record, thanks very much for your detailed instructions. You've been very helpful. I'll e-mail you back when I've successfully followed them. It's a Bank Holiday today but I'm one of the unfortunates who has to work (till 10 p.m.) so I won't be trying to sort it out till tomorrow. Thanks again.

Neil ;-)
