Yea. I tried that, but it still did not work. I never got it installed.
Tried serveral times. It kept telling me it could not find N2003. Then when
I tried to run N2003, it would kick me back to the desktop. The problem is
it tries to install under C: programs/papyus, which is not where papy
defaults. Papy games always install under C: papyrus. Even when I manually
tried to point it to C: papyrus/GTP it would not install. It also placed a
GTP folder in C:, but would not install there either. I'm not the only one
who had this problem. It's a ***install and needs to be fixed.

I am leaning towards disagreeing with this 'BUG' in the installer.
Granted they designed it very poorly. I too lost my sims because I didn't
understand where they wanted their files to go. And for some reason, the
installer DELETES the two video codecs rather than move them to a safe
folder. So it deletes the rend_ogl.dll and and rend_dxg.dll. So if you
can get ahold of those two files, you will get your broken Nr2k3 back.
Once I understood the wants of the installer, I got the gtp mod
installed easily. Runs great, feels great.
I "think" the unfortunate installer problem was used as a cover once the
lawyers stepped in. It will be interesting to see, not so much what extras
they add to the new version, but rather what they took out of v1.0 to
survive legal scrutineering.
btw...has anyone who has gotten gtp to run watched the ai cars BOUNCE at
Le Mans? lol!!

I am inclined to agree with you Dave. My install problem was simply that the
default second part of install where it identified the game as c:\Nascar
Racing 2003 neglected to add \Papyrus\Nascar Racing 2003. After I got that,
there was no problem installing & running.

Check out the AI at Sebring - they all DNF before lap 20! Hilarious.

The AI cars bounce at *some* (but not all) 3rd-party tracks (i.e., not the
Team Redline tracks).
