In the 'older' version of Trainz, open Content Manager.To import a Folder into TANE from another Trainz installation, you must ensure the item is 'Open for Edit'. In this case your build number has not changed and so the contents and database will operate correctly. The exception to using Windows to move your content is when you are changing the Local Data Folder path from one location to another. There will be some items that require fixing in TANE due to changed validation conditions. Note that almost all 'pre-Trainz A New Era' content can be imported into TANE.

Using Windows to move Local, Original and Packages data folders between builds and then using 'Rebuild Database' to force update the content.

Built-in content cannot be moved from the install location (instead, download these items from the DLS).

Importing Content Folders (Open for Edit Folders) using Content Manager (See below for more details).

Importing Content Files (CDPs) using Content Manager.
