Marias Pass 3.1 is 100% grey except for tracks and trains?

Hi rabidsasquatch7,
Thank you for the explanation

On his download site, Otto provides some Registry entries for MSTS - www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/downloads-various/
I must emphasise that, as some file editing may be required, you must know EXACTLY what you're doing if you use one of these!!

Cheers,

Is there no other way to unpack activities that don't come with there own installer?

I am totally confused by what you say you have been doing !

I have been helping many who have had problems with TSUnpack for years after MSTS MINI copies and Trainstore started to be used and can not understand why it still being used by some as well as spanning larger downloads into multiple parts now that we have BROADBAND using fiber-optic cables in many areas.

The MP-3.1 comes in 7 download zips and supplies all its Authored and Default activities as APK files and presume that you have all of them installed ?

Otto, I followed your pictures step by step but still got the "Microsoft Train simulator installation not found" error message. My MSTS is located in Drive C:\1MSTS. All my add-ons are installed here. Whenever I drag an .apk file onto TSUnpack I get the error message.

Hi rabidsasquatch7,

How can I explain this as simply as possible??!!
What this error message means is that the installer can't find the Registry entry for MSTS which points to where it's installed. The fact that you've PUT it in C:\1MSTS makes no difference because Windows doesn't know it's there!! Either you must install MSTS using the CDs, or manually edit the Registry with ALL the correct settings (or modify one of Otto's offerings).

I got lost with all this.

C:\1MSTS ? Are you using WIN-7 64-bit or WIN-8 64-bit ?

Post the entire content of your C:\1MSTS desktop shortcut Target: line here and I shall attach the appropriate REG file to my reply !

Fixed it, messed around with the registry and sent it in the right direction. Thanks for the help everyone!
