Shasta Default Installation

[davidlk]

I purchased this route today and ran into a situation attempting to install it. My plan was to put this route in a new and separate directory but upon running the installation program it seems only the default (Trains/Train Simulations etc) profile is available. Am I missing something here?

I did not notice an option to change the install location (which is something I am very against, but I've been on that soapbox before and it clearly got nowhere), mine actually wanted to install to the folder I had specifically for ORTS Seligman.

What I did was rename the folder it wanted to install at, allowed it to install there, then renamed the new installation to something referencing Shasta, and finally returned the original folder to the name it had previously. (In my case, this meant starting the installer and seeing the installer wanted to install to my "ORTS Seligman" folder. So, I rename that folder to "ORTS Seligmann" and allow the installer to continue. Now I have two folders-"ORTS Seligman" which is actually Shasta, and "ORTS Seligmann" which is Seligman. Then I rename "ORTS Seligman" to "ORTS Shasta" and "ORTS Seligmann" to "ORTS Seligman". Tada, now I have separate installs for the two routes.)

While this adds a few extra steps, it seems to work fine and doesn't confuse anything (route loads just fine). I did have to manually add the "ORTS Shasta" folder to the OpenRails settings, however.

Pschlik: Thanks so much for the help. I like to think without the Scotch last night I would have thought of it myself but probably not. Its working so well Im thinking about resinstalling all of my ORTS specific routes into separate directories. Thanks again!
