Do you unzip to a temporary folder first? (But not c:\temp) This was a known
problem with Brands: installing straight from the zip.

GPL-Brands Hatch Track(2)

I tried to install it from a temp folder on my D: drive(game is on E:).

Someone sent the file though and I am alright now.

Funny thing about that error but now that I have the track that won't be a
problem again (back-up). I had downloaded and installed plenty of
tracks(6-7?) and never had that problem though. Must just be the age of the
file I guess.

Thanks for the reply.

Pretty unlikely that it has anything to do with the age, as I recently
re-downloaded the Brands track myself from the Pits and had no problems at
all.
