Grayed out tracks error

[CSRX]

You know you have to have Java installed?

Yep, have it installed.
Route riter would simply not work properly or would freeze up on me.
Would be nice to have when I have numerous shape files to uncompress or recompress, weed out files I don't need, etc.
Oh well...

Install Java. The one recommended for your computer. Default install.
Install RouteRiter, by right clicking and running as admin. Put it somewhere outside the windows protected folder system.
In the RouteRiter folder create the two folders TempFiles and TempFiles2.

In your Java Install create the folder classes.

Copy the contents of the TSUtil folder in RouteRiter and put them in the classes folder you just created.

Works for me.

Edit: On occasion a Java update will wipe the classes folder requiring you to recreate it. Happened to me a couple weeks ago.
This is for v. 7.6.0.26, Mike Simpsons last version.

Thank you so much Randy! I will give that a try, I think the only thing I goofed was the tempfiles and tempfiles2 folder. Could explain why it was acting up! I'll let you know what comes of this!


Edit: Looks like I still get the same error message as before

"Run-time error '380'
Invalid property value"

Hi

I'm not sure if this will help you but I have W10 64 and I found it necessary to install both 64 and 32 bit Java
with the classes folder in both installs.

Not sure why but it works.

Yes, Java is persnickety.

By the way, to the original poster, Shortliner, has any of this helped with your greyed out tracks error?

That's interesting. Wondering if the same is said with Windows 11. I'll give that a try and see what happens!

Edit:
Tried again, still coming up with the same exact error message.

Followed the exact instructions on how to install Java, and Route Riter to a T. So I am completely stumped.

Installed both offline and offline (x64) Java versions too, added the additional TempFile and TempFile2 folders, as well as the Classes folder, copied everything from the TSutils folder into each classes folder, and still get the error 380.




















As much as I'd like to use Route Riter again, it seems like it's absolutely not worth the time, effort, and frustration to get this damn thing installed on Windows 11.

Silly question.
Do you have MSTS installed?
RR's looking for it in the registry. That's what that error is.
I never could get it to work without it.

I have it installed under "D:\MSTS"

So yes, and no in a sense, if that makes much sense. It's not in it's "natural" install, but it is in fact, installed. I'm guessing I will need to fake the install on either C:\ or D:\ with whatever the original folder name is/was for MSTS?

[R. Steele]

Okay some information from my RR install on Windows10 --- RR loads and all functions work correctly.

Do Not have MSTS installed in any form whatsoever. I searched registry for entries and found none, I cannot remember for certain if I used Ged Slipperman's utility to install an MSTS registry entry.

Using RR Ver7.6.26

Install location >>> C:\ORTS\Utilities\Route_Riter

I have both jre7 & jre8 installed within the Route Riter Folder itself.

And also the standard install of Java here >>> C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_311
