    Don't install it in program files. That's a Windows protected file folder, thus access denied

        C:\OpenRails or another drive if you wish.

        This is just a suggestion.

          Anywhere but C:/Program Files and C:/Program file (x86) - best in a stand-alone folder.

            OpenRails goes in a place and your content, trains/routes, go in another place. Not together.
            If Openrails updates it'll wipe the content. System folders is a no no. Desktop is a system folder.

              Most other Trainsimulations payware routes default their installation to C:\Trainsimulations. The objective of course is to keep their Open Rails content separate from past crowdsourced MSTS content. Yes, they techically *can* be mixed, but it is a novice thing to accomplish and not a noob thing.

                If you mix them with your other routes you may end up with problems. I don't think the GLOBAL directory is compatible.
