How can I install Microsoft Train Simulator on my Windows 10 PC?

ever heard of google, its a search engine.  Its on the internet.  I suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft\_Train\_Simulator will tell you.

Hi again Boss,

My machine is not new, couldn’t tell you what make as its a bitser my daughter and her partner put together (desktop) to do her university work (Graphic Design and Games art).  It has an MSI mobo with AMD 6300 six core 3.5GHz processor, 64 bit, 8GB RAM.

I am using the latest patches as far as I know.  Tha game has installed but will not run, gets to a point then bombs to the desktop.  As far as I know I have deleted everything between install attempts to the point of manually deleting folders and running CClean on the registry.

I tried XP, Vista and Win 7 Compatibility without result.

When I try to install basic fixes/patches from microsoft It puts them in weird places as if it has a different registry somewhere.

So, I will try disabling AV and disconnect from internet as I have the patches stored alreadyand try Win98 Compat.

I took the HD from my vista machine and linked it to the newer one and tried to run it from there, Nope.  Copied it to the newer machine, tried to run, told me it wasn’t installed.

Might try backup from old machine and install to new. Don’t hold much hope. Could try migrating but will it migrate program.

Will let you know what happens.

Yes,the flight sims all have community patches with a noCD fix, so I thought the train sim would be similar.

I've used noCD fixes with all games since forever. Never liked having to stuff around with the disk.

• Are you using an older machine ? Laptop or desktop, and which brand and model ? 
• The game has installed, but won't launch ?

Games from 2001 are at the edge of Win10 compatibility, but will generally run if they ran on Win7. Have you downloaded

newer versions of your community patches, or still using the originals ?

• Have you deleted any files that may have been left after any failed install attempt ?

These could be in the install location or your User\Documents or User\AppData\Local or Roaming folders.

(and possibly a Microsoft sub-folder)

• Have you tried using Win98  Compatibility ? If the game has installed you can do this with the games shortcut or the main .exe

in the games install folder.

If the game is failing to install you can set Compatibility with the setup.exe (or whatever term they use for the installers executable)

on the installation disk .

Win98 should force the game (or installer) to use  only one cpu core, and this can help old games from the single core cpu era at times

(can help get the game running, not sure is it helps with installing).

• Also disable your Anti-virus temporarily to verify it's not blocking the game silently.

.

Oh I’m sorry that didn’t work. Can you tell me where the installation fails? Or does it install, but won’t open? There’s a chance we can try to run it it compatibility mode if that’s the case.

Let me know!
