Apply for the Windows 7 logo, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/dd203105.aspx

Separate application and data tiers into a DLL separate from presentation.

Change the user interface to an inductive user interface, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997506.aspx

Installer

Compatible with Windows 7

Download: Version 7.8.10

Notes

If you are having problems creating images, copy PicFormat32.dll to either C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The newer version included with the prior installers is not compatible with Shape Viewer.

If you are having problems with the Check Rolling Stock dialog, create a folder named TempFiles within the Digital Rails\Route Riter folder.
