Thanks to community made patches TrackMania United (2006) can now be installed and run without the CD on Windows 7 & 10. Download all the installers and patches from this google folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W3dMLV3gw_edM5zb00H_oVcnK7xmy6dR?usp=sharing
Be aware that a TrackMania United Forever installation might use a folder of the same name, “Trackmania United”. Make sure to keep your TMUF and TMU 2006 installations apart.
To install the game, simply run the patches in order: 1.0 => 2.0 => 3.0
For patch 3.0 you need to unzip the folder and copy all files into your TMU directory. Overwrite any duplicate files.
Afterwards, make sure to run the "runme.exe" instead of the standard "TmUnited.exe". This is only required once, but you can continue to use it at any time to launch the game.
You will be asked to provide a game key. Any TMUF Key will work here.
In case you have graphical issues after launching the game, follow this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2505427657 The guide was originally made for TMUF but works in the same way for TMU 2006.
