Error before starting game

[csxt]

I have tried various routes, consists and still get this same error.. I had to print scrn real fast to catch what it said, it acts like it is loading then displays this message and closes out the cmd. Any ideas?

Looks like you may not have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.

csxt,
Open Rails creates a log file (usually on you desktop) where all this information is stored, so you don't need to "fast finger" print screen to capture it.

As James indicated, please make sure you've successfully installed the prerequisites as detailed here: http://openrails.org/SoftDocs.pdf

Let us know if your problem is solved.
