Install wizard for old TrainArtisan addon exits out immediately after starting

[johnnyboy99]

I've tried installing their old CP Holiday Train add-on and for some reason even when I fix the installer with a 32bit installer from ToastyTech or running the program as administrator, the program keeps exiting out at 99% loaded and it doesn't install
How do I fix this?

Oddly enough I did it with their SD70MAC and AC6000CW packs and the installer worked fine.

Someone else had a CP Holiday Train, a newer version, but I can't recall who it was. Might have been one of the payware venders, maybe only at the Holidays.

Either Tigertrains or Maple Leaf Tracks had the CP Holiday Train for sale in its "Limited Time Products" section during this past Christmas season.

Hi JohnnyBoy,
I have just successfully installed it without making any changes, just run setup.exe 'as administrator'.
If it still doesn't work for you, I suggest you access the TrainArtisan.com site using the Wayback Machine (ie web.archive.org).

Cheers,

I tried running as admin. Same problem

[slipperman]

... and what about re-downloading it from the Wayback Machine?

Hi johnnyboy99,
My apologies, I have just discovered that the Train Artisan CP Holiday Train installer will only unpack into a valid MSTS installation, as indicated by its Registry entry.

Cheers,
