Just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit and MSTS installed OK using compatibility to XP.
However, I am having problems trying to install SCE into the non-default location of MSTS.
I point the standard installer to L:\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator and continually get an error
"Unable to create directory .\MakingTracks Support Files\SCE"
I have installed MSTS BIN and tried installing SCE both standard and Bin installer but get the
same result. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong??

Many thanks

George

Since writing the above I have installed successfully both "London & South East" and
"Great Eastern". I have tried to install SCE again but still get the error.

I am curious why the directory, the installer can`t create, begins with "."
ie .\Making Track Support Files\SCE and wonder if this is causing the problem.
If so, how do I change it?

George

I dont appear to have SCE installed frm the CD, but the MakingTracks Support Files folder we use normally does not have . at the front
No one else has reported this..

Have you run the installer as administrator ?

Did you manually change to that installation folder?

I've just run an install whereby I changed the destination to:
f:\sce

the MT support files were still installed to
f:\microsoft games\train simulator

(the default location from the registry). Trying to install as admin may work - failing that, you may need to look at the folder permissions of the default installation folder.

Thanks for your replies, guys.

I ended up by uninstalling everything and then reinstalling MSTS followed by SCE which went thru OK.
I wonder if the MSTSBin patch is compatible with Win 7 and that could have caused a problem.
Certainly without it SCE installed OK

George

BIN is fine with W7.

On your second go, did you install SCE to the default location?
