Hi to all,
I just installed MSTS Bin onto my computer and completed everything by the Readme Text. Now when I go to start an activity up I can't get any further. It doesn't let me click on any of the tabs in the start menu of Train Simulator. I can't load a previously saved activity or drive a train. Can someone help me with this little problem that I'm having?

Hi Darrell !
Which version of MSTS did you use before, 1.5.7 ?
If so then all it's *.cvf files need to have their additional 3 pairs of lines taken out, which I think Kev Roberts' "Rear Cab Files Creator" does automatically when creating new ones for 1.6.1 !

Somebody else having a problem reminded me of this:
After installing MSTSBin 1.6.1 did you COPY the English *.dll files in the installed Translated DLLs \ EN folder and PASTE them into the Train Simulator folder ?

Otto,
I'm using the latest version of MSTS and yes, I copied the correct ".dlls" files into the folder. I went and uninstalled it and tried it again, but the same thing happened again. I will try again later this afternoon.

Is there anything else that I need to perform besides copying the required files over to set MSTS Bin up the right way? I keep getting the same problem that I ran into earlier. I would love to install this but it seems to be giving me a problem. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,

I see that in the some of the other Translated Folders of MSTS Bin that there are some menu.dll's. In the English version there is not. Just wondering if there is supposed to be one there? In the picture this is far as I can get with MSTS Bin installed. Where do I go from here?

Sorry can't get the picture to upload to show exactly what I'm talking about.

I know it's a dumb question but i am grabbing at straws. Did you have a previous Bin patch installed on your computer prior to installing this one? Is your MSTS folder in the default location?

No, this is my first go at MSTS Bin. Yes, MSTS folder is in default location. I don't know if it was a bad downloaded file or what, but everytime that I uninstall it and do a re-install of MSTS Bin, I get the same problem.
