0.
It is absolutely necessary you first of all download the first version of the 2017 DB if you haven't done so already.
1. Download the database from the Downloads section or with the link provided at the bottom of this post. A download manager such as JDownloader is suggested if you will be using the MEGA mirror, while you'll need a torrent client such as QBitTorrent for the torrent download.
2. Open the archive you downloaded. Extract the content of the folder "To Program Files" inside the directory where you installed PCM 16. Generally, that's going to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2016, but if that's not the case, the folder is always the one where you can find PCM's executable, PCM.exe. When you're asked to overwrite/merge, say yes.
3.
If you edited the 2017 DB's cdb file before, and would like to retain those changes/backup it for later use, please do so before this point.
Extract the content of the folder "To Documents" inside your Documents folder. Generally, that's going to be C:\Users\*YOUR_USERNAME*\Documents, but otherwise you should be able to find it yourself pretty easily. When you're asked to overwrite/merge, say yes.
4. Now it's time to start the game. When you create a new game (either Career/Pro Cyclist/One-off Race/etc.), select PCMdaily2017DB (preferred and highly reccomended if you want to play the db in its completeness) or PCMdaily2017DB_Light (if you want a quicker career experience or only care about playing with a WT team, this one only has just a few CT teams, half the races, and a trimmed down palmares, which should make the advancing a lot smoother).
5. 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 your question in the General questions thread on pcmdaily.com.
