Do you install from within the zip file? Extract the files to a temp
directory first and then install from within the temp directory.
Hope it works, Imola is a fantastic track!!

--Go into you existing directory and drag a box round all the files and
change the group file attributes from 'read only' to 'archive' then try
re-installing again

You have to edit your 67season.ini found in the "season" folder
Add 1 to the total number of races (change to 12 if it says 11 and so on...)

Example:
[Season]
name=All Tracks In Alphabetical Order
year=1967
numEvents=17

Then add a new track below the rest like this:
[Event17]
name=San Marino Grand Prix
shortname=Imola GP
trackDirectory=imola
month=9
day=22
numberOfLaps=65
startingGrid=4

I have no clue about the month/day parameters, but I guess it's for
determining the sequence of races in a championship

just do what the first guy said- unzip the files to a folder then install,
dont try to run the .exe from within the zip, it won't work.
