Here's what happens:
I go into Route Building Tools>Marker Files>Convert Direct to DCSV
Select my route marker file
Hit "Proceed"
When it asks me to select the files to convert, nothing shows up unless I remove the .csv extension.
I then hit "Select All" and "Convert Fully" but get the error message: "You have not selected a .kml,.wpt.mkr.csv or .gpx file?"

Any ideas why this happens?

Also on a side note, the New Template creator at the begining of the tutorial ran fine but it wasn't selectable when I opened RW. Idk if that's part of the problem but I figured I'd mention it.

Run RWTools as an administrator and it should convert the files properly.



Ran as Administrator and I'm still getting the same error. Nothing is selectable until I remove ".csv" from the box above (*.kml;*.gpx;*.wpt;*.mkr;*.csv) and if I accidentally delete the asterix it crashes. Should I just re-install?

Wait. Are you using a .kmz instead of an .kml? Because that would explain it.

Doh! Someone go ahead and stamp Idiot on my forehead. I must've completely missed the option to save as .kml or I thought they were the same for some reason. !!**sorry**!!

Worked fine, thanks! Now on to the rest of the tutorial and hopefully some terrain!
