Installing TTD and Patch, a guide.
Hi here's a lttle help for installing TTD + patch :
First download TTD : TTDwin.zip
Unpack TTdeluxe to a folder : c:\games\ttd
Get the registry editor from shadow-XIII : regeditor
Put this regeditor in the same folder as TTD
Run this registry editor to install TTD (change the settings to your liking and hit save)
!! Note that with the latest Patch versions you won't need to register it any more so you should be able to skip this !!
Now download TTDpatch : the patch
Unpack this to the same folder as TTD : c:\games\ttd
Create a folder, "newgrf" in your TTD folder : c:\games\ttd\newgrf
Download the needed graphics : graphics (remove the _675 from the name)
Unpack these graphics in the graphics folder : c:\games\ttd\newgrf
Copy the file "newgrfw.cfg" from this folder to the main ttd folder : c:\games\ttd
Now to play the game you must run ttdpatchw.exe for it to work on win XP.
To activate the newgrfs open the Graphic Status Window (under the wrench icon),
select the grf and activate it by clicking on its red flag. Then click "apply"
Have fun playing.
ps don't forget to read the documentation.
EDIT 05/05/2012: Graphics can be found here now.

You idea-stealing smeg!
Here's mine, its a lot longer, and detailed (mabey too long?). Suggestions/improvments are welcome, but once I figure out the formatting, I'll put it into the TTDPatch wiki. I don't have the Dos version myself, so I dont know if I made any mistakes there.
More conveniently to be found here

ttd+patch problems
ok guys, thanks for your help but still won't work.
Have done everything in Robs install guide to the letter, inc all downloads etc, have got cd in drive, but am now getting message "unable to access transport tycon deluxe cd $ ", although cd is in the drive, sorry to be a pain but any suggestions.
Also, does anyone know where I can download the original transport tycoon, as the link from this site to the tripod site appears to be broken??

for your cd problem try adding cdpath d:
where d is put your actual drive name.

Registry editor??????
Registry editor, how do you install the game through that
Run it, select the options you like and hit save.

If there is no gamefx.exe then your game isn't installed properly, or you have the dos version of the game.
Try redownloading it and use the installer or shadows registry editor.
