I have personally now got into a routine that if I download an .exe applicator, that can't be opened in 7zip, and it doesn't matter whether it is Payware, or, freeware content, I create a Vanilla folder for Assets and I install the content directly into that particular folder knowing that there is absolutely nothing else in there interferring with the process, then afterwards, I look at what has been installed, I can either then just copy and paste all the assets across into my real game, or, install it again automatically directly into my real game knowing what folders should now exist and the files inside them accordingly, I always double check what has been installed before going into the game and finding important items are missing on a rouite, such as track, signals, bridges, viaducts, you know, the important things!!!!!
