ERROR - Unable to register Trainz URL registry key

If you are running Vista and a TRS2006 build earlier than 3092 then your version is not Vista compatible. Check your build number in the bottom right corner of the TRS2006 main menu.

TRS06 as part of the Trainz Collection has been upgraded for Vista setup; as has TRS06 as supplied in the US with Trainz Railways; and also in the UK as distributed by Focus.

Patching is not possible as many of the changes had to be made in the installer.

If you are using the Vista compatible version you may need to run CMP as an administrator or elevate the permissions on the Auran folder...
Right click on the Auran folder and choose properties. Click the security tab and edit the permissions such that full control is applied. Vista will be unable to save any data to the Auran folder without this permission.

If you are running Vista and the message continues to appear you may need to re-install TRS2006 while logged in to your system as an administrator.

If you are running XP and the message appears you may need to re-install TRS2006 while logged in to your system as an administrator.

2773 is UK TRS2006 with no service pack.

You can download SP1 for that version from here. It's free of charge but a big file. It can be installed on XP if you precisely follow the detailed instructions. With Vista - I don't know but it would certainly be worth a try.

There are some more hints for running TRS2006 under Vista here, and also on this forum of course.

But if Ed says it's a no-no, there's very little hope....
