Microsoft train simulator 2 install#
Yes, irrespective of whatever you've just installed (Microsoft, Atari, Ubisoft, Xplosiv) you need to install the web update.
Microsoft train simulator 2 Patch#
Install the web-based MSTS "update to patch v1.4". Now it's on to the upgrades and enhancements. Right, that takes care of the basic installation. I then create a "New Group" entitled MSTS and move the two icons there, thus: I prefer to move my commonly used icons to the Start menu: right click on Train Simulator and select " Pin to Start".If you click Start | All Apps | Microsoft Games |Programs | Microsoft Games, you will see that the "Editors and Tools" icon is also present (new users continually post "I don't have a link to the Tools!" Yes, you do!):.You will have an MSTS icon on your desktop, thus:.Now restart your computer as instructed:.At 29%, you'll be prompted to insert CD2: do so, wait till the CD drive spins up, then press OK.and then starts the installation proper, a locomotive travelling slowly across the tracks to mark progress: The program creates the necessary folders.

Check that everything is now as you've selected and click on the right-arrow to commence the actual installation:.If the folder doesn't exist, you'll be asked to ok its creation:.Go back and make sure the path reads drive AND folder as below:.and I've promptly made a mistake: you must type drive and folder in the field for the path to the program: Select the drive you wish to use, then type in the name of the folder you wish to install to (here I've chosen "1MSTS" as my install folder).Click the "Complete Install" radio button (1), then "Change" (2) then Right-Arrow (3).Click on the radio button labelled " Customize Installation Options" (1) then click on right-arrow (2):.Adobe Acrobat on the MSTS disk is about version 4: with a Win10 machine, you'll most likely have Adobe Reader 10 or higher, so skip this step (ie say "no").Installing MSTS outside "Program Files" also makes it much easier to move or access MSTS files across your wired or wireless network.

Windows 10 thinks it's "protecting" (but it interferes with the modification and installation of) files in the Program Files folder, often leading to errors with batch files running and activities unpacking.

Stay out of the Program Files folder altogether: install MSTS to another folder, say, C:\1MSTS or even another drive, for example X:\1MSTS where X: is your target drive (local or external)- naming the folder thus will cause it to rise to the top of your folder listing in Explorer and is a lot easier to type into "Save" dialogues. DO *NOT* INSTALL MSTS TO THE SUGGESTED DEFAULT FOLDER Windows will try to install MSTS in its default folder,Ĭ:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator in 32-bit systems orĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator in Windows 64-bit systems. When the folder opens, RIGHT-CLICK on setup.exe and select " Run As Administrator": When you first insert your CD into the drive, Windows will ask you to select what to do in a pop-up in the lower right corner of your screen:Ĭlick on that pop-up and select "Open folder to view files": Read Installing MSTS on an Windows XP PC.

Microsoft train simulator 2 drivers#
This is shown as 16.300.2511.1003, dated on the Driver properties screen (from Device Manager)." The challenge appears to be that Windows Update updates these drivers rendering MSTS unplayable. Ged Saunders over on uktrainsim writes "The last version of the HD Series drivers available from the AMD site which enables MSTS to work under Windows 10 with an AMD HD graphics card (plus "fix") is 16.8.3. It appears that MSTS will install but not run on PCs fitted with AMD/Radeon graphics cards.It appears that MSTS will install but not run on PCs fitted with standard Intel Graphics cards (theses are often embedded in the motherboard).The process is VERY similar to previous installations but I hope a few tweaks to make it easier along the way. An MSI GT 1030 SFF card has been installed and a pure/unenhanced version of Windows 10 Pro installed. It's mostly the same as previous guides and has been tested on a "virgin" Windows 10 pro 64-bit HP Deskpro that's recently been retired from active duty.
