Tutorial: Installing TS Addons from .exe files

This tutorial shows how to install an addon that comes in an executable (.exe) file in Train Simulator 2022 (Railworks).

Step 1
Download an .exe file (for example the Olt Valley Route) and save it in a folder or on the Desktop.

Step 2
We look for the addon executable where we saved it (visible through the Railstudio icon) and double click on it.

Step 3
We are greeted by the addon installation window. We start by clicking “Next” to move on.

Step 4
Read the instructions carefully, then click “Next”.

Step 5
Read the terms and conditions carefully and click on “I agree with the above terms and conditions”, then click on “Next”.

Step 6
At this step, the installer should automatically find the game folder. If it did not find it, we press the button with the 3 dots on the right, so that we guide the installer to the root folder of the game. If everything is fine, click “Next”.

Step 7
The installer will inform us that we are about to install the addon in the chosen folder. If the folder is incorrect, you can press “Back” to change it. Otherwise, click “Next”.

Step 8
Wait for the Installer to do its job. Standby times vary depending on the size of the addon, but also the quality of the SSD or HDD

Step 9
When the installer has done its job, we are informed that the installation was successful. To exit the Installer, click “Exit”.
