REGISTERING TRAINZ

Troubleshooting:

• Do not run two installations from the disc at the same time. If you wish to install a second copy of Trainz, please run the installer again after the first installation has completed.
• Double clicking on your DVD drive will not the begin the installation, you will need to double click on the setup file within the DVD drive folder to begin the installation.
• If you do see issues with installing from the disc, then please try copying the files from each disc to your hard drive. You must place all files from each disc into the same folder for the installer to work correctly from your hard drive.
• Ensure that you have enough disc space on your hard drive to install Trainz. You will need enough space for the installer to 'unpack' to the hard drive, and for Trainz to be installed (minimum requirement of 50GB Free Space). Please note, the installer will use C:\ drive to unpack to, even if you select another drive to install Trainz to.

If there is not enough space available, then you will likely see the following error:
