I downloaded the git hub binary version, unzip to a directory and click on torque2D.exe and my xp system tells me that is not a valid win32 application .... Now what ?

This was not done. I'm going to have to point this out again.

If you pull the source and compile with VS2010 it will work fine, or follow the instructions in the article to compile it with VS2012....

Ah my bad, I thought binary meant is was pre compiled since a exe was supplied.

Yes, binary means the exe is provided for you so you don't have to use visual studio. Unfortunately, the windows binary that was uploaded doesn't support XP as Richard pointed out. I'll see if we can fix this at least from the Github side, in the meantime I still have a winXP binary available, see this thread:

No, no, you were right - I'm just saying that the precompiled binary was compiled with VS2012 but the correct adjustments were not made.

Two options really, Mike - the changes from that article or just compile it with VS2010.
