I recently downloaded all the parts to the PRR Eastern Division Public Beta route from trainsim.com. I have read through the readme's and have no idea how to install this route. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Installation Instructions;

The PRR Eastern Division Public Beta has been packaged as an eight file spanned install for a mini route. This was done to avoid problems created by the use of custom track and shapes that would be trashed under a normal install as an add on route. To reduce the overall size of the download and to honor the request of various contributors of the custom consists and trainsets, this Public Beta only contains the basic activities and trainsets needed to get you started.

Before attempting to install this route, you MUST have all eight zip files downloaded, unpacked, and all eight spanned files with the name "Train Simulator-PRR.xxxxxx.xxx", where xx. ranges from 01 to 08, must be placed together in a temporary location.

The file Train Simulator-PRR.Part01.exe is a self extracting winrar file. Just double click on the icon to start the installation. When the display screen opens, change the install path to the drive location of your choice, usually C.

Important: Do Not point the destination path to the route folder of your default install of MSTS. It will not run from there. Send it to your hard drive instead. That can be C, or if you have one, D. A folder called "Train Simulator-PRR" will be created which will contain the custom stand alone mini route of the PRR Eastern Division.

The installation will proceed to unpack all eight spanned files to your destination until completed. This process make take a minute before the display screen opens. It may take from 10 to 30 minutes to complete its task.

After the installation has finished, you will need to do the following in order to satisfy MSTS Eula requirements;

1. If you haven't done so, install the latest bin patch to your default install of MSTS. Refer to the PDF file if you need to know where to download this patch from.
2. After installing the patch, Copy the following files from the root folder of your default install of MSTS to the "Train Simulator-PRR" root folder;

Train.exe
String.dll
Dialog.dll

3. Create a shortcut icon for Train.exe, rename it to PRR Mini Route, or whatever, and place it on the desktop.
4. If you know how, add the bin memory patch by right clicking on the icon and selecting Properties.

You are now ready to explore the largest route ever constructed for MSTS

in easy way,have to put all the 8 files in the same folder,extract the first one and the rest will follow..

don't install in your default MSTS route folder,but in a temp file.
after it's done,you choose a place to put the route and follow this tree step installing

first,you copy those 2 files in the new folder
Train.exe
String.dll
Dialog.dll

after,create a short cut with the train.exe on your desktop and after,you will be able to use the route in a separated folder,by using the new shortcut

Ok, when I do the self installer for part one it works fine, but then gets to a point that says a disc is required for part 2.
