All download come packed in a compressed format such as .rar or .7z .
A good tool to open these is
7zip.
There are two different installation possibilities for the game, the offline version for which you require a DVD, or the online/steam version, which can be installed with either the DVD or Steam purchase.
Tracks
Off-line version:
I recommend taking a backup of C:\Program Files\Race 07 before you continue so it can easily be restored if something goes wrong.
Open the compressed file (.zip/.rar/.7z).
If the folder inside is called Gamedata, extract this to:
C:\Program Files\Race 07\
If the folder inside has the track name, first check if the Gamedata folder is inside or not. If it is, follow the instruction above.
If not: Extract the [trackname] folder to:
C:\Program Files\Race 07\Gamedata\Locations
On-line version:
I recommend taking a backup of C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[USERNAME]\Race 07\ before you continue so it can easily be restored if something goes wrong.
Open the compressed file (.zip/.rar/.7z).
If the folder inside is called Gamedata, extract this to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\Race 07\
If the folder inside has the trackname, first check if the Gamedata folder is inside or not. If it is, follow the instruction above.
If not: Extract the [trackname] folder to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\Race 07\Gamedata\Locations
If the Gamedata folder and/or the Locations folder does not exist, you'll need to create it yourself.
