More Route loading woes I'm afraid.

[pcohen]

Hi everybody.

Scottish Central Route installation problem please?

As per the readme Instructions I have unpacked the following Into a Temporary Folder on my Desktop.

SC.zip, SC.z02, SC.z03,,SC.z04, SC.z05, SC.z06, SC.z07, SC.z08, SC.z09,
SC.z10 SC.z11.

But when trying to unpack It Into the ORTSContent Route Folder I get the following message:-

"The same volume cannot be used as both the source and destination"

Do not understand why this Is doing this apart from I seem to remember having mega Issues with this Route before and It not loading.

Any help with this would be gratefully accepted.

Many thanks

Paul.

Hey Paul,

I guess the first question is how badly do you want this route? Out of curiosity I downloaded it but it is a VERY messy job assuming I approached it correctly. The way I did it was to unzip 01 through 11. In each of the folders that gave me a single file named SC.z01 through to SC.z11.

I then unzipped the UKTS_9933_SC file which bought up a box asking me for the location of the UKTS_9933_SC.z01. By hitting the BROWSE button I was able to go to my 01 folder and select the SC.z01 file. Once selected I could see it install but then I had to repeat the same process to point the installer to the location of the 02 zip file and working through them one by one I managed to get all the way to 11 at which point the installation crashed on me.

I had a 2nd go and this time managed to get all the way through the installation of the various zip files. I then ran the installme.bat file to add all the default route content and from a quick look at it it seems to have installed fine. As I say, it's a fiddly installation but if you want the route badly enough it looks like it can be done with a bit of persistence... and perhaps there is a better way to approach the installation to the way I tacked it?

Hi Pete, thanks for your reply.

I would really like to try this Route, but it has never worked for me In the Past.

I still have MSTS on my Computer, so I may try to Install It there first.

But I guess If I keep plodding on at It, perhaps It will load for me?

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul
The main file sc.zip seems to be faulty, the copy I downloaded has the filenames but zero data in the root folder files. Will try again later, currently the site is saying I don't have download permissions for it a second time.

Anyhow, what should happen after you unpack all of the z files, with sc.zip in the same folder, unzip sc.zip and it should then unpack all of the contents held in the z files into the Scottish Central route folder. After that you copy or move the route into the folder where your default routes are, and run the installme.bat.

Edit:- second try works fine, albeit the unpacking is a bit slow

"The same volume cannot be used as both the source and destination"

Paul encountered that same error message. You just need to unzip into a different folder, make a new folder in a different location, say "Temp" or whatever you like and direct it to unzip there. Then just copy and paste the finished file where you want it.

Good morning Pete.

For whatever reason this Route will not open?

Would you be kind enough to send Another Link please?

Hope this Is OK.

Many Thanks

Paul.
