I have downloaded the .exe file and the .d files for this route, but when I first ran the .exe file I had forgotten to remove the "UKTS_FILEID_" extensions, and the program stopped, reporting that it could not be installed because the file contains "invalid data". I then removed the file extensions and tried again with no success.
I tried doing a system restore, but still could not get the install to work. When I try the uninstall facility of the control panel, I just get a message that there is a fault, and I cannot uninstall whatever bits of the program the computer thinks are there. All other MSTS routes work O.K.
I really wanted this route, so could anyone out there please help me?
Many thanks in anticipation of some help!

As has been posted before, for some reason the Southwold route files can become corrupted during download - quite co-incidentally, I decided to try out Southwold myself only last night and had problems with missing/corrupted files. Try this:
1. Delete any remnants of your previous installation of the Southwold route;
2. Download the files again, one at a time;
3. Re-name your downloads by removing the "UKTS" file prefix;
4. Move all five files to a tempoary folder with no other files present;
5. Read the README file;
6. Click on the EXE file, which should start the installation process.
7. Once installed, ensure you have the latest Tsection.dat file on your system - if not, download & re-install.
From what I can recall, you'll also need to have UK Finescale track installed (first) as Southwold is a narrow guage route.
It worked for me so hopefully this should sort you out.
Cheers
