After installing Part 7 of Rising Sun installation

[richcreator]

Among many other parts of expansion install instructions,
here is one that I find confusing in the Rising Sun install instructions.
Running MultiCFS3,
It says to "Type in the exact name of your install", but the name of the install is already typed in..
It says "Underscores will be added" but underscores are already added.
The ACCEPT button at the botton is greyed out until I backspace to delete one of the underscores. Then I can click to ACCEPT.
FYI

You are absolutly right.

One must overwrite completely the "CFS3 PTO Rising Sun________" that is in the multicfs3.exe and that is why the directions say type in the exact name of your install without the underscores.
If one does not completely overwrite ALL of the characters there is a chance that your install will not create and point to the correct appl/data folder.

Where, in the installation, does it say this?

Well you have taken the sentence out of context and have tried to make some kind of point, But it clearly states

for you to Select and highlight the current user name entry and type in the exact name of your install. The default name is CFS3 PTO Rising Sun
Underscores will be added automatically to the end of the default name

which means to overwrite all characters.

You are welcome for my response.

How can I take an incomplete sentence out of context?
It clearly does not state to delete the current user name entry.
My point is that the sentence should read, "Select and highlight and delete the current user name entry and type in the exact name of your install.
The instructions state to follow the instructions EXACTLY and the instructions are not exact.

I haven't seen an expansion to CFS3 yet that had that box already filled in until this RS. This is why I was confused and
didn't consider deleting what was already correct except that the ACCEPT/SELECT button was greyed out so I deleted only one
underscore to bring up the SELECT/ACCEPT button, knowing I'm not following the instructions EXACTLY like
everybody is instructed to do.

Thank you for pointing this out. When a revised and expanded installation readme is created for RS we will try to further bulletproof the setting up of the multicfs3.exe.
Please pass on your knowledge on setting up the multicfs3.exe if you see a post and someone is having dificulty understanding the directions. Sometimes it is dificult writting these readmes when you have been working with the subject matter for years and don't have a clue what an individual with no prior experience will or not understand while going through the install process.
