What do you get when you open the .zip archive ?
The error would suggest that there is quite a lot of files in the wrong place.
What are the issues reported?
The issues are 711 sentences of gobbledygook I can't make head or tail of!
I will have another go tommorow evening. At least I've actually got the game working and extracted the necessary applications, so in comparison to this time yesterday we do have some progress!
It may be worth mentioning that my content folder is directly in the openBVE folder. Should I move it out?

Did you download and extract the file from that link I posted earlier and put the contents in your openbve_stable folder?

No, I think the content folder is fine. I have a few routes which give me error messages, perhaps try a new route. Out of interest, what route are you trying?

Ah, that is a lot of errors. A few here & there you can get away with, but not that amount. Ok, this is how I got my setup:
All these are in the 'Program Files' folder on C: drive:
openbve_stable: this contains the main stuff for openBVE to operate
openBVE_content: This contains all the data for the routes & trains I have
Now, inside the content folder, I got 2 sub folders: Railway & Train:
Inside Railway, there should be 3 sub folders: Object, Route, Sound
When you download a route, usually in a zip file, it's best to download it onto your Desktop, then you can mess with it easier from there. Now, once you've unzipped your chosen route you've downloaded, inside the resulting folder, you should have the above 3 folders, it's just a case of putting them in the main 3 folders above
Now, the Train folder, is more or less straightforward. When you go into here, all it should contain is folders of your various trains you have downloaded, & in each of the folders contains the main stuff for that particular train.
That's basically how it is, let me know how you get on.

Yes, I needed to ask you about that. Which one do I download, there are multiple downloads.
I'd also like to say thank you to everyone on this thread who's been helping me. I'm not very good with installations (as you can probably tell) so thank you very much for all your support. I couldn't have done half the things I have without it!

The mainline UK bve4 trains that were on the Bve Routes and Trains site that were hosted for me on there will be uploaded on to my site https://sites.google.com/a/bve4trains.com/bve-4-trains/ shortly.
Infact I am up loading all 20 of them as I write this.
I can't say what's happening to the other mainline trains, or the Underground trains or routes.

Look at post #31
Yeh, but you don't specify what website, it just says BVE website, that could mean anything, especially to a newbie!

Look at post #31
And it's actually written by the person who runs that website rather than someone with second hand information!

X City South V2.0 hasn't been released yet ... has it? :/
The previous version is one 7zip file tonbe extracted to your OpenBVE folder ...
I'm on my phone ATM, I'll write up a more detailed post later.
