Patches & Updates

Here are the latest patches and updates for our MSTS Utilities.

Note: These will not work unless you already have the associated program (SwitchList Generator, Activity Generator, or Activity Master) installed on your hard drive.

You will also need the password you received when you originally downloaded/installed the software. If you don't remember your password, please e-mail your PayPal receipt to Update Password Needed and your unzip password for the appropriate program will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours. If you no longer have your receipt, send the original e-mail address you used when purchasing the software, and we can usually look it up.

To upgrade any version of Activity Master or Activity Generator to the latest version:

To install maintenance updates:

Click the link below for the update you need, and download the zip file to your desktop, or anywhere that's convenient for you.

Either:

Right click the file, and select "Extract to:". Then browse to the folder where the program is located. If you installed the programs to the recommended locations, you will want to extract the file(s) for the ActivityMaster update to your \Program Files\ActivityMaster folder. For SwitchList Generator, the default installation is \Program Files\SwitchlistGenerator. When extracting, you'll need to enter the password you received when you originally purchased the software.

Or:

Double click the .zip file and unzip the file(s) in it anywhere you'd like. You'll need to enter the password you received when you originally purchased the software. Next, copy, drag, or move all the files to the program folder for the program you're updating. If you're updating Activity Master, and you originally installed it to the default location (highly recommended), copy or move the files to your \Program Files\ActivityMaster folder. For SwitchList Generator, if you installed to the the default location, then copy or move the files to your \Program Files\SwitchlistGenerator folder.

If you installed either of these programs to another folder (rather than the recommended, default folder), you'll need instead copy the files from the .zip file to the folder where the program was installed. DO NOT copy these to your MSTS folder.

To determine whether or not you successfully updated your software, start the software and verify that the version number is the same as the latest version number given below for each product.

The latest version of ActivityMaster is 1.5.9. Get the free update here. Fixes an issue with compatibility with the latest version of Shape Viewer (v2).

The latest version of ActivityGenerator is 4.2.11. Get the free update here.

Activity Generator has replaced SwitchList Generator. This is a major version update. If you haven't yet upgraded, please click here for links and instructions on updating SwitchList Generator to Activity Generator. Also included with the update is SwitchList Generator Classic, so you can still enjoy the SwitchList Generator program you are familiar with.

To use either of these programs with the new Shape View interface, you'll need to download and install Paul Gausden's freeware Shape View program also, available here. The link to the Shape View program is provided with the kind permission of Mr. Gausden.
