"Could not find \Data\g1.dat at this path."

I just purchased Roller Coaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack via GOG.com and am having trouble getting OpenRCT2 to launch.

Upon starting the program, it prompts me to located the RCT2 directory. After doing some searching and unhiding my AppData folder, I was able to locate the following file path:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack [GOG.com]

However, when navigating via the OpenRCT2 launcher, neither that directory or the Documents folder inside seem to be the correct location.

I receive the message "Could not find \Data\g1.dat at this path."

I am operating on Windows 11 and downloaded OpenRCT2 version v0.3.5.1

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

You picked the location of a shortcut to RCT2, but not the actual location.

Since you use a GOG install, it’s likely to be in a subfolder of C:\GOG Games or C:\Program Files\GalaxyClient or something similar.
