Help! Both MSTS and OR were accidentally deleted from my Windows 10 system. I have now reinstalled both but they won't run. I put them in the same folder as before, which is not the default for either. Still, both ran fine before. Someone advised me that it is best to create a new folder for these sims, so I use C:/RR SIMS/MSTS and C:/RR SIMS/Open Rails. Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

The Executables for MSTS and OR definitely should be in separate folders as when OR upgrades it deletes the contents of the folder it is in and then installs the new version.Charles -
Thank you Charles. Actually the executables are in separate folders, MSTS and Open Rails, respectively. But those two folders are in a shared folder, different than the one each program wanted to install in.Comment

To provide help we need more than "but they won't run"
What do you observe? When do they fail?
OR creates a log file each time it runs. It is saved to your Desktop in the file named: OpenRails Log.txt
Attach that file to your post here.CharlesComment

MSTS wouldn't even open. ORTS opened but froze and would not list any available routes. However, I now have reinstalled both programs in their default folders and ORTS is now working. (Haven't tried MSTS yet.)Comment

MSTS default would be something like C:/Program Files/.... or c:/Program File (x86)/... --- Not a good idea with a system Window 7 or higher. Best to put in it's own folder ( such as C:/MSTS or whatever you like) as Windows does not like some of those older programs and won't let them run in those Windows controlled folders.Geary "Mr. Hart" Gerhardt - Owner and CEO of Hart Rail Lines, Hart Commuter Railways, and Hart Rail Cars.
