How to install the SMR Intercontinental mod?

[VermillionMoose]

Every time I try to install the mod it says I have to insert a disk. What do I do?

I dunno, when I try it says I have to start the game at least once, even after starting the game, closing the game, starting and leaving it running, playing a scenario, etc etc etc it doesn't work.

Yeah I really want to get it installed :(

For some reason I don't think the installer likes to work with the Steam version. I had SMR Int. installed on a disc version of the game a year ago or so and it was fine. But I currently have the same issue as ArmouredFalcon.

As a work around you can go here: http://smrsimple.com/map-database/ and use the America map by StormFather. I am using it right now and it works fine.

There are also a whole slew of other continental maps on that site, but I haven't used them yet.

I really doubt any body is still in need of this on this post however I struggled to find a way of installing Intercontinetal, this is how I did it in the end.


INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Make sure you have a fresh steam-game-installation of Sid Meiers Railroads. 2. Start the game a first time (important). 3. Exit the game. 4. Download SMRI 5. Unzip the downloaded .zip-package to your desktop. 6. Go to your Steam-installation of Sid Meiers Railroads e.g.: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Railroads 7. Now open the folder "Assets" and copy all the files (it's about 1,4 gb) 8. Go to: &#xUS;ERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads 9. Open the folder "CustomAssets" 10. Now paste the copied files 11. Wait till it's done 12. Now open the folder "Localization" from the fresh pasted files 13. Copy all the files again (it's about 57 mb) 14. Go 1 folder back (to "CustomAssets") 15. Open the folder "XML" 16. Paste the copied files 17. Now go to your desktop and double-click on "Setup_SMRI_1.01" with your left mouse-button (with Admin-rights). 18. On the "welcome-page" of the installer click "Next" (if a notification appears then just click "ok" (maybe pops up serveral times)) 19. In the "Destination Folder"-inputbox you must delete the exclamation mark ( ! ) at the end of the word "Railroads!" 20. Now you can click the "Install"-button.
