Tiny,
That got me at first too, I eventually figured out that pointing to the
Nascar2003 directory was not good enough, I had to double click on the
directory (which then showed the subfolders) and then the install was
allowed to proceed.......Still trying to get into a race thru VROC tho, but
the Mod itself seems pretty cool.

I too had a similar problem to this problem. It asks you 2 questions
about where to install. The first asks for the GTP directory then it
asks for the NR2003. They are not the same and the install stops pretty
quickly with an error saying that it cannot install to a valid NR2003
directory.

After that I tried running NR2003 as normal but even that wouldn't run
so I had to uninstall and re-install it to the same directory as before,
(Luckily this doesn't lose any of your settings, fastlaps, etc), then
re-installed the 1.2.0.1 patch. Checked again and all was ok. Then
installed the GTP mod to its 'own' directory before telling it where to
find the NR2003 directory and this time it installed just fine. Ran the
config.exe and all is working.
