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

Thanks for the reply, But I do have a question as to installation of the update. Its a zip file so I tried this 2 ways. I extracted it directly to the switchlist program and when that didnt work I extracted it to a seperate file and copied all the files over from there. Both ways I did the install provided the same results. Is there another way of doing it? As far as the Indy route, well I'm a big Conrail fan and will work on the advise you gave me to see if I cant get that updated. I'm retired so this gives me something to do.......

Thanks

What you did should have worked: either unzipping the file into your SwitchList Generator folder, or, unzipping it anywhere, and copying the files into that folder. It sounds like maybe you were upgrading from SwitchList Generator not Activity Generator. If so there is a whole different procedure to follow (not just downloading the zip file and copying the files). This is described at Updating SLG to AG

However since you are having so much trouble I will send you the link to the full program download in a private message. This will correct all your Activity Generator problems, hopefully that will also get the Conrail Indy template working as well.

Thanks and sorry about the trouble,
