It's not that it can't run on vista. TRS2006 was just released before vista was, so it wasn't listed as an OS on the box. Many people on this forum have TRS2006 running on vista.

2006 and vista
I have been running 2006 on Vista since July last year and I have had no problems whatsoever. Some people seem to have lots of problems but I have had none. Obviously touching wood on saying this but everything has been fine.
However after installing 2006 and SP1, before launching, I have changed the bin applications to "run this program as an adminstrator", e.g. CCP, CCp Console, Content Manager, trainzutil, TPS2006. Some people have also changed other application files as well. Alan Yeomans gave a good summary in a posting on 30 April 2007 and I recommend that you look at this on the forum as it worked for me.

Hello
Trainz runs on vista fine.
After you have installed TRS2006 as a administrator on Microsoft Windows Vista:
Right Click the following files in the TRS2006 Directory below and select compatibility tab and tick the small square box ----> Run this program as an Administrator.
TRS2006.exe
ContentManager
CCP
Launcher
Trainz
TrainzDiag
openGLextensions
gsc
gse
TrainzUtil

or try this one,
1. launch msconfig from the run menu.
2. click on tools tab, scroll till you find the disable UAC, click on the line.
3. press the launch button.
4. a cmd window will open, when the command is done, you can close the window.
5. close msconfig, now you need to reboot pc for the changes to rpley.
i tryed this method on tc3, and trs 04 so it should work on trs06
if eny of you don't know what the UAC means, it means user account control.
hope this helps

06 ran its course for me on XP, but 09 runs on my new Vista laptop. Pretty smooth and virtually flawless.
Someone I know has TRS 2006 and ran it at the FEC Railway Society Convention on a vista desktop. That was a very smooth run.

I'll add that 2006 also runs perfectly with Vista SP2 beta. I loaded it this past weekend and I've had zero problems. This is Vista Ultimate 64-bit by the way so whoever started a dumb rumor like this needs to try getting the program to run in DOS. Then they can say it won't load.
