RW Merge can't access Serz

[ErikGorbiHamilton]

For awhile I have been wanting to merge the Cascadian and Stevens pass just for S&G's and found a tool to do that. The program is called RW Merge and is made by an Iltalian fellow. The issue seems that when I go to confirm the merge the route can't get access to Serz. "Access to the path 'c:/Serz.exe' is denied." I presume the error is because it's trying to find Serz in my C drive, while my RW install is in D Drive. I will attempt to fix this issue and get back here.


The error message:

************** Exception Text **************
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Serz.exe' is denied.

Have you tried copying Serz.exe to your C:\ drive?

I have not. Let me try that real quick.

~E: Just tried that and even when Serz is in C Drive, along with the two routes in question, it still says it's denied. Same error message as before.

Maybe and I'm just guessing it needs to be run as a administrator.

Tried that and it worked! In fact it hosted about 2 more errors which I was able to look at and fix them as well! Now a new issue has popped up. It gives me an error saying it doesn't have access to 'C:\Bs.bin'. Now I know my Railworks, but WHAT IN THE HELL is that? I have never seen any reference to that anywhere.

I did a search of my RailWorks folder and find no trace of such a thing.
