OpenRails exe not working

[ideaman]

Hello gentlemen. I have downloaded the program from the instruction thread several times and when I try to run the installer it keeps comming up package damaged. and i get send / don't send. This is when I click on OpenRails.vshost.exe. Is this the right one or am I missing something . Any help would be greatly appriciated.Greg

That's the wrong program. You should be running "OpenRails.exe".

Thanks for the reply. I found the right one after I posted my request. What was throwing me was OpenRails did not say exe.and vshost was marked exe. Now is there a tutorial or instructions some where as to how to use the program thankyou. Greg

Hello Greg,

I see you have made 251 posts so I assume you're not a newby.

If you went to the trouble of looking in the directory OpenRails.exe is located, you might just see a file named SoftDocs.pdf which is what some of us used to learn what ORTS is currently capable of handling. There is even a file called README.txt that has some simple instructions.

Wouldn't exploring a new installation for documentation be a better method of learning than asking first?

Perhaps a bit heavy-handed as replies go but...
Perhaps I took too many grouchy pills today.

Hi Gary. I stand to be beatin severely with a wet noodle. I don't know why I get so dum sometimes and ask stupid questions when the answers are right in front of me. I found the PDF and printed all 66 pages . Thanks for the calling down I deserved it. Thanks.Greg.

You can always go to the Open Rails website http://openrails.org/SoftDocs.pdf to view a pdf copy over the web if you don't want to print all 66 pages.
