Problems upgrading MacTCP 2.0.4 to 2.0.6

I recently downloaded the MacTCP 2.0.6 upgrader (from seeding.apple.com),
but it absolutely refuses to work on my copy of MacTCP 2.0.4. The error
message it comes up with is:

>An unrecoverable error occurred while verifying resource DRVR 22 (".ipp")
>in the file MacTCP on System.
>This resource needs to be patched, but its attributes aren't what was
>expected. Please make sure that you are patching the correct file and
>version.

I'm using a totally unmodified, ordinary version of MacTCP 2.0.4. I have 
also tried upgrading a freshly installed copy of MacTCP and even one 
which hasn't been booted (ie. was left out of the extensions folder).

I obtained my copy of MacTCP on a coverdisk of a UK magazine (MacFormat),
perhaps they distributed a modified version. If so, how can upgrade?
Can I copy the resources from the upgrader and paste them into MacTCP
using ResEdit, or is this too risky?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


PS. I'm running system 7.0.1 (Tuneup 1.1.1) on a LC II.
