Open them with winrar or 7zip and copy the files manually.

Open them with 7zip press the blue extract button left hand side of menu bar, select where you want to extract it something like this, your drive name, Steam/steamapps/common/railworks
Intel i5-10600K CPU, Asus TUF GAMING Z490-Plus (Wi-Fi) MB, Graphics Asus RTX 3060 TI 8GB OC TUF gaming card Windows 11 Home 64 bit, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 ram, Viewsonic VX2728 LED 1080P FHD Monitor, Samsung 1TB SSD + other conventional drives, Corsair 750W PSU.

Yes, you can unpack RWP files and install them manually, but what if you want to remove them later? That's why the Package Manager, which makes both installing and removing RWP packages easy. Here's how:

1. In your Railworks directory, find Utilities.exe. Right-click that file, select "Send To" and choose "Desktop (create shortcut)". Right click that shortcut on your desktop and select "Run as Administrator".

2. Double click the Utilities-Shortcut icon to open the TS Utilities program and, depending on your Windows version, okay opening the program.

3. Click on the Package Manager tab, then click on the Install button -- you do not need to click refresh unless you want to remove something.

4. Navigate to the location of the RWP file, click it, then click Install.

That's it! This isn't even tricycle science and it means, I will note again, removing the contents of an RWP package much easier.

#1 - I can't find the installer in my Railworks directory.

#2 - If I install them manually, how do I know where to place them?

#2: Manually: open the rwp with 7zip, drag the contents to your Railworks folder.
Example: if there is a Assets folder, you drag it to your Railworks folder.
Answer "Yes" to any question about merging / overwriting.

There is no Utilities folder in my Steam. There is a Utilities Shortcut, but that is all.

Utilities.zip

Put it into your main Railworks folder.
