Well - when I started seriously with HS2 it was R5 Final the current version (this is nearly half a year ago). But I can´t remember to have had troubles with the tutorial.
R5 is very outdated now and there were heavy improvements and much more mods since then so I recommend urgently to change to a newer version: now BetterRepack R8. Not only more efficency but also the newer mods help you using cards that were created with newer versions.
I recommend you a torrent download, file from here

For the game u need to download only the BetterRepack look above

After extracting (into a game folder very high in load order of your gaming partition) copy your old folders "chara", "coordinate" and "save" (inside "UserData") into the new install and start InitSetting.exe and have fun
Better keep your old game as Backup for a while until you know, the new game runs perfectly.
