Content doesn't work for RCT1?

[jez9999]

I'm trying to use the following content with my OpenRCT2:

https://archive.org/details/OpenRCT2Assets

It does run OpenRCT2 when I point it at that directory, but I then tried to set it as the path to my RCT1 installation and got the error "The specified path contains a RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 installation, but this version is not suitable. OpenRCT2 needs a Loopy Landscapes or RCT Deluxe install in order to use RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 assets."

Does anyone know why this error would occur?  It seems that this ZIP is indeed supposed to work for the RCT1 install as well.

Please don't share your original RCT1 assets, that's illegal. To get help with your issue, please specify what version of RCT1 you have (disc/steam/gog/etc) and, if from cd, how you installed it.

That's not my archive.org site, it appears to be a rather commonly-used one.  I do have a purchased version of RCT1, which appears to be a GOG purchase from some time ago in a directory "RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe".  Is that compatible with OpenRCT2?  Is there a list of files/directories somewhere that it's going to look for in a RCT1 install, so I can check to see what might be missing?

The GOG-version contains all RCT1 files you need. Please use that one, as I can only provide support for legally obtained copies of the game.
