1. After downloading open the archive with 7Zip and extract it.
2. When extracting is finished, run the installer by double-clicking "PCMdaily Lite Pack 2018 Setup.exe".
3. At a certain point during the installation, you can select where you want to install the Lite Pack. You have to choose the main directory of Pro Cycling Manager 2018 for the Lite Pack to work correctly. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2018. In some cases, however, this location is different. If you have set up Steam to install your games in a different directory, make sure to install the Lite Pack in there as well. For example, if your games are in D:\SteamLibrary, you should install the Expansion Pack in D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2018. If you’re not sure if you are installing the Lite Pack in the correct directory, please check if the directory contains the file [PCM.exe]. If it does, you’re installing in the correct directory. If not, you can search for the correct directory by using Windows’ search function and searching for [PCM.exe]. Make sure the directory you find is from PCM18 and not from one of the earlier versions of the game.
4. Complete the installation process. Installation can take a while considering it is a huge file.
5. When the installation is complete, you will be taken to Lite Pack 2018 in Steam Workshop. Make sure you subscribe to it and allow Steam Workshop to complete downloading the files. It’s a small package, so it should not take long. If you don’t subscribe to the Lite Pack in Steam Workshop, you won’t be able to choose the database in the game.
6. In the game, select PCMdaily Lite Pack V2 as the database to use when starting a new game mode.
7. You're set, enjoy! If you followed this guide, but you’re still having problems with the installation, check the FAQ on the PCM.daily forum. If your problem isn’t listed in there, ask any questions in the support thread on pcmdaily.com, in the PCM.daily Projects section. Any future updates can be downloaded and installed easily by running the PCMdailyLitePack Updater, located in the Start menu folder PCMdaily Lite Pack.
PCM.daily Lite Pack V2.1 Bugfix released!
PCM.daily's Database Team has released a bugfix for the Lite Pack. Install it by running PCMdaily Lite Pack Updater in the PCMdaily Lite Pack folder of your Start menu. The Steam Workshop part will update automatically.
If you didn't install V2 yet, you will have to install that version first. Upon starting the installer of V2, it will find a new update and will ask you if you want to install that one instead. Choose No, because the update does not contain the full pack! First install V2, then use the Updater to install the bugfix.
