OpenRCT2 can't locate my RCT2 g1.dat files

[Liz]

I have the RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack download from Amazon. I downloaded the OpenRCT2 Windows x86 Installer. When I try to select my desktop folder, "Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack (Download)" when prompted to select my RCT2 directory for OpenRCT2, it returns with the prompt, "Could not find C:\Users\(myname)\Desktop\Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack (Download)\Data\g1.dat at this path". Any ideas of what I can do?

Most likely, that folder ( C:\Users\(myname)\Desktop\Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 - Triple Thrill Pack (Download) ) contains the installer for RCT2. Run that installer, and point OpenRCT2 to the folder that installer has installed RCT2 to (which will be a subfolder in "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)".

It is strongly recommend to use the 64-bit version of you have a 64-bit system (which 99% of people will have nowadays). Only download the 32-bit version if your Windows version is 32-bit.
