The trick is that they NOT in the directory which is installed on your hard drive when you install the software, they remain on the CD so you have to look inside the ISO file.

(...) I downloaded the image and installed the software, but I can't find any files that seem to represent the building instructions, even with hidden files shown. Which directory are the file in? Eric Albrecht (14 years ago, 15-Jul-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

(...) XP doesn't like the Cybermaster CD because o a compatibility issue with QuickTime. You can still get access to the building instructions though. Just make sure you change folder properties so it'll show hidden files and folders. Jetro (14 years ago, 13-Jul-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)
