I finally got everything setup for my new REX textures, but they're not installing into the sim. I checked the sim folder and everything. Please help. This is very frustrating.

I am sorry for the frustration, let's see if we can help.

 

In the CONFIGURATION MANAGER->GENERAL TAB, what do you have in the SIMULATION FOLDER section?

Very strange indeed!

 

Have a look in your REX installation folder for any errors, in the error log folder.

I can send a RAR with the error logs. I don't know what they mean when I read them.

 

Here's with Administrator rights:

And without, it doesn't save.

The error logs may provide an insight into the problem.

Do you have the latest Net framework installed?

I had this same problem! but have managed to fix it... When I upgraded to overdrive, the installation did not copy all the original textures to the new installation folder. So I copied all the texture files from the old install "C:\Program Files (x86)\Real Environment Xtreme Essential\images" to the new installation folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\REX Essential\images". Once I started REX, all the textures were there and I was able to select the ones I wanted and then install them in the normal way. Hope that works for you!

copy and pasting a file:/// directory only refers to your computer. You cannot give someone that address and expect them to be able to access the file on your computer. You need to find some sort of file hosting.. consider dropbox.

Hi this is caused by installing the upgrade into the wrong folder. The proper folder to install the upgrade in is the folder containing the "rex.exe" file from the current install! Matt's solution provides a work around, but only if the upgrade and current install are both with OD or without. Better is to uninstall the upgrade and reinstall to the proper folder.
