CONSIST PREMABLE DAT ERROR 53, Cant Make it work Options

[emcnally]

I've tried everything and followed all the directions for the update. I cant get anything to work. I've followed step by step with the users manual and always seem to end up with this error. I also noticed when I tried to update the crindy2 template to AG4 I still got the message that the template was another version. Now when I load the MSTS train editor I get an error saying error reading train database. for the consists. Oh and I've tried doing my own template with the LS&I but get the same error. Can someone help me with this? I have version 4.1.09

If you search these forums on the word "preamble", you will find several threads. This problem occurs when the preamble.dat file is missing. You must install the updates directly to the previous AG folder, not just copy files. Check out the threads, and if necessary, contact Steve directly via e-mail.

As for updating the CRIndy template to AG4, creating an update involves a lot of files, and probably not all the old files have been modified or the new files created. Likely you used the AG4 option to update the template, but did not revise the regions worked for the template paths. This is found by first clicking on the create and modify templates (csv files) button on the main AG menu, and then clicking on the set regions worked button on the next menu. The process of setting the regions worked will create a new file for that template. Be sure to do both the EB and WB templates. My intention is to eventually update all templates to AG4, but I have no idea when I will get to CRIndy.
