    Installing Open Rails

    I Downloaded the Installer for OR But When I Start the Installer it Says it's Going to Install to C: Program files Ect. I Have A Folder for it On My C Drive. How do I Direct the Installer to Install to C: Open rails?

    The installer reads the default installation as C:\Program Files. You can change the directory to any other location within the C drive. I installed a version of OR on my external SSD and it still works like a charm. When you install, change default path to C:\Open Rails, and it will function as it should.Cheers,Zach

      How Do I Change the Path, the Install Wizard Says I Can Change Paths but it's Already Programed to go to C/ Program Files (x86).

          How Do I Do that? The Install Wizard Has C: Program Files (X86) Already in the Install Wizard Program.

            OK, I see the issue.... if you've already installed it, you don't get to re-do your choice.

            It's not the end of the world, though -- go to Add/Remove Programs on your start menu or control panel, uninstall ORTS, and then install it again.

            You'll get the prompts for location this time.

              I Don't See it On My list of Downloads or Programs. I Have A New Computer with Windows 11 and I Can't Find an Add/ Remove Programs Anywhere.

                  Click the Windows Start icon.
                  Type Apps & Features
                  -Search Selection should list "Apps & Features - System settings"
                  Select that
                  Dialog will open with lists of installed Apps
                  Scroll down to Open Rails

                      Did you type "Apps & Features" or "Open Rails" in the search?
                      When I go to Apps & Features - System setting the only Apps listed to uninstall is "Open Rails 1.4"

                          OK, I Got the APP Removed and Downloaded the Program. When I Start the Installer it Still Says C:\ Program Files\ Open Rails.
                          How Do I Change That?

                            That's where you either type in the desired path or you click Browse and select the directory using the folder picker.

                            I'll add photos later.

                              How Do I Type in the Path? When I Click Open Rails 1.5.1 Setup I get user Control, I Click Yes and I Get A Language Window, I Click Okay and I get a License Agreement Window, I Click Accept and I Get an Information Window. In the Information it States that the Default Folder is C:\ Program Files\Open Rails\ but You Can Choose Another Location. How or Where do I Do That?
