Open Rails vs Windows 10

[Literalman]

When I try to add content (MSTS routes) for OR 1.1.1.3487, I get this message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application.… Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I'm running OR as an administrator. Both the OR and MSTS folders are on C but not in Program Files. MSTS files are not read only.

The same version of OR works in XP on my old computer, where I can add content, but it soon runs out of memory.

So adding content works in XP but not Windows 10, and I'm guessing that the problem lies in Windows 10. The computer with Windows 10 is a 3- or 4-year-old HP laptop.

Any ideas as to what the obstacle is? I already searched this OR forum for "content," "exception," and "unhandled" and "instance" but did not find the answer.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Do yourself a favor and start with a version that is 4 years more current than 1.1. And THEN worry about the performance on Win10 thereafter.

And by the way, you cannot upgrade from that distance away, you must delete the old and run the whole installer for the new. More recent versions have added and deleted prerequisites, so this age of a previous version is a no-go.

Using the latest version from a fresh installation worked. I had tried the upgrade button within OR but all I got was a "Dirty Update" folder.

Thanks.
