I've found that all SP1 installation packages are not the same!
I installed SP1 and discovered that TrainzMap 1.1 would no longer work. After some discussion with the great folks at VistaMareSoft.com, this was the solution:
...In fact this is probably a known problem. In some cases, never
understood, the TRS2006 SP1 patcher does not update the TraiUtil.exe
utility to the latest version. This version is needed by TrainzMap
(the previous one(s) were buggy and/or incomplete): this is why
TrainzMap does not work.
You may look in the "bin" folder under the main folder where you
installed TRS2006 in: the file TraunzUtil.exe should be dated at
least June 14th, 2006; if it is earlier than that, it is the pre-SP1
(wrong) version.
Theoretically, you could try re-installing the SP1, but a) this may
be not so straightforward as it should and b) it is not sure that
this time the patcher will update TrainzUtil.exe too.
So, the best thing is to replace your current TrainzUtil.exe in the
[FS2006]\bin folder...
This was the EXACT problem, and replacing the file with the newer version fixed it immediately (without having to re-install anything!)
The only speed-bump was locating the updated TrainzUtil.exe... I was able to fix my problem, but I'm sure Auran doesn't want us freely sharing bits of their code. So what are we supposed to do if we can't get it from them?
