Some users have been experiencing issues with the installers saying "Run8 V2 Not Found at This Location". This can easily be fixed by putting a dummy V2 executable file in your run 8 directory. Below are the steps to create that file.
  1. Navigate to your Run8 Directory - Default Location is C:\Run8Studios\Run8 Train Simulator V3 This may be different if you have your simulator installed somewhere else.
  2. Right Click on the blank area next to the files and hover over "New" then click "Text Document".
