torqueDemo not in example folder

I purchased and downloaded torque last night and am going through the documentation on how to set it up and get it going. The instructions on how to run the demo are clear and make sense except for one thing... no torqueDemo.exe in the example folder. I thought maybe there's some batch file or something that's living elsewhere or perhaps the installation put something on my classpath (improbable, but who knows), however, typing c:\torque\example\torqueDemo [with all the right switches] gets me the expected... "torqueDemo" is not recognized as an external or internal command error.

Did I miss something in the download? Was I supposed to do some "checking out" in CVS that I overlooked? I'm quite sure that I'm doing something wrong, cause no one else has posted this on the board and it would definitely be a topic if the demo really wasn't there... so... what did I miss?

The example folder has a readMe.html and a main.cs as well as a bunch of subdirectories that (by their names) suggest that they're different types of examples, but no torqueDemo.

Thanks in advance.

You have to compile torque to get it.

Yevgeny you need to get a C/C++ compiler and compile the source code into an executable yourself.

thank you both... I sort of figured it out after several hours of noodling. :)
