    It's right at the top, you click directly on the link that says

    Download the current Development Release V-0.8.0.1251

    to download it.

        This is the official home of Open Rails with news and links to content, vendors and the community. Open Rails is a totally free train simulator that supports the world’s largest range of rail content.

          First, thanks for all the replies. Please excuse my lack of understanding, but the package, which I had downloaded, on the page is not an executable file and the documentation talks about an executable file (Ready to Run) for installation and does not address installing without the executable. Also, it seems that the root folder for the program would not be named OR v0.8. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

            Hi,
            The download pointed to is a zip file. Unpack it to wherever you like! Inside it you'll find OpenRails.exe; double click on this file and you're up and running, as long as you've installed the XNA 3.1 Redistributable - it's in the readme! As such, Open Rails is not installed, but just sits there Obviously, all the files included in the zip should be unpacked into the same folder, but its name can be of your choosing.
            I suggest you use Send To ... Desktop to create a shortcut for the executable.

            Cheers,
            Ged

              Thank you for the clarification, the install instructions seemed to indicate that there was an installer package available and that caused me some confusion. I got the program installed and running.
