trouble installing Conbuilder.

[ragtimer]

As far as I am aware,(and I quote from the Steam4Me site:Windows 10 thinks it's "protecting" (but it interferes with the modification and installation of) files in the Program Files folder, often leading to errors with batch files running and activities unpacking. Installing MSTS outside "Program Files" also makes it much easier to move or access MSTS files across your wired or wireless network.)

This is the only reason to install MSTS direct to the "C" (or other drive).

I am not going to attempt to alter,modify or generally mess about with either CB,RR or any other utility,so I see no reason to put them anywhere other than where the installer wishes to put them.And I do not think a gremlin is going to do it either.They work fine !
I actually find some remarks made quite patronising.

Hi Ragtimer.

re: "I actually find some remarks made quite patronising."

Please don't take things personally, you are a well respected
member of the community but everyone has their own
experience and it may fit the scenario as posted by the OP.

For example, I have different requirements but still learnt a
lot from the input here.

Yes,I have learnt much also,and am grateful to Ged Saunders especially for his utilities and to everyone else too numerous to mention for information,but I am not stupid and have learnt much from trial and error in the sim and by reading things here and at Steam4me.I thought a lot before I allowed CB and RR to be installed where the installer wanted to put them,but see my earlier remarks.

Cannot duplicate. Both cbsetup.exe from 249 and conbuilder.exe display a Compatibility Tab after right clicking and selecting Properties using WIN 10 Pro. Do other EXE files display a Compatibility tab?

No answer = no more help.

My apologies, especially to crstagg, for my lack of attention to this thread. I've spent way too much time with the Olympics, a chronic weakness of mine. They are over now.

My problem with exe files was in finding the right one, finally I was able to correctly follow the instructions on steam4me, and obtain the compatibility tab, etc.
I was incorrectly opening, while failing to unzip, files....and causing my own problems.

I appreciate all the responses. Hopefully, I can move on with installation now.

I'm happy to report that I've successfully installed Conbuilder, and all seems to be working well.
