Hi folks. On a windows 7 computer where is AG supposed to go. The path for the sim is C:\MSTS\microsoft games\train simulator. Conbuilder and route-riter seem
to work ok but I cannot get AG to work right. I have an Alienware I5 machine. Thanks for any help. Greg.

Hi = I use Win 7 and I installed AG as follows

c:\Program Files(x86)\SwitchlistGenerator\

set up a shortcut on your desktop and away you go. Ted

I kept mine out of the c:\Program Files(x86)\SwitchlistGenerator\ due to all the changes that you need to make to the folders. I have all of my programs in a main folder named c:\msts. My AG program resides in the folder c:\msts\SwitchlistGenerator. It was done to bypass all the security issues that one might run into placing any program, that needs to read/write to it's folder, in the Program Files folders.

HI Jim. Is the path that I have for MSTS. the right one. C:\MSTS\microsoft games\train simulator 0r should it be worded some other way? I am having some routes crash after running for a while. This is a virgin machine with nothing added. Also has any one tried to put XP on a 7 machine with the simulator. Just curious. Greg

Hi Greg,

If you installed it to that location, it's fine. The important thing was to keep it out of the 'Program Files' folders.
To follow in this pattern, you could install Activity Generator to the folder c:\msts\SwitchlistGenerator or even C:\MSTS\microsoft games\SwitchlistGenerator. Both would work fine.

As for the routes crashing after being run for awhile, I have that same issue at times. It usually happens when I'm running a detailed route with a lot going on in the activity. MSTS does not handle memory all the efficiently.

Thank you for the information and your time. I am not very good at making paths for different utilities for the sim. Thanks again .Greg.
