Victoria LUL is one of the new simulations that uses the SimSig Loader. If you've not got the Loader, you need to download the latest System Files. By default, the Loader 'looks' for simulations in the Public Documents area. If you want a quick and easy installation, allow everything to use the default install location, and it'll work fine. If you want to install the simulations to a custom location, use the 'Folder Options' button on the Loader. There's more details about Loader on the Wiki.

Before you run the simulation, use the 'Check For Updates' button on the Loader- this makes sure you're running the latest version of your simulations and the Loader.

Lots of questions for you because lots has changed and SimSig simulations do not now run from their own .exe files. They run instead within the SimSigLoader.exe file.

1) Have you installed the latest system files (from the download section). If so, you will have SimSigLoader.exe on your system. This file is required to run the latest simulations.
2) If you have the latest system files, have you used the "Check for Updates" button to make sure that you have the latest versions of everything?
3) If you have got the latest system files, do you have the Simulations and Timetables sub-folders showing under the SimSigLoader.exe file. Unless you have changed anything while installing the system files, this should be in a separate SimSig sub-folder in your Public or Shared Documents folder?
4) If you have all of that in place, put the victoria.sim file in the Simulations sub-folder then create a Victoria folder in the same place. Then create a Victoria sub-folder in the Timetables folder and put the Victoria LUL timetables in there.
5) Run the SimSigLoader file, start a new simulation, select Victoria from the list that is displayed, and off you go.

There is more about it all in the Wiki. The Wiki is always a good starting point if anyone has a problem, because the probability is that someone has had the problem before and there is some public documentation available in either the Wiki or on the Forum.

Hope that all helps to get you going.
