Hi guys,
I'm having problems running the RTS kit after i install it. When I laucnh RTS Starter Kit Demo, windows starts sreaching for RTS_TEST.exe, which it cannot find, and neither can I. Is there anyone that can help with this?

Our "phantom" installed shortcut said:
C:\Torque\RTSStarterKit\example\RTS_TEST.exe
-Rename word "TEST" to "DEBUG" as seen above: (then: exe file will get some proper icon now...)
-When clicked on it, then: it starts the "640x480" like normal screen (you're done!).

Please, also exept my modest overview, if it helps:
===
Options are:
"Start Game" "Join Game" View Demo"
in the next row, there is also:
"Options" and "About"
in the next row, there is also:
"Quit"
===
Then: it's good idea to go to "Options" first, BEFORE you mess up more...
And: to choose good working resolution for you FIRST.
-Downfall (from my point of view): there is no 1600X1200 option offered, and that's MINUS from me, so far.
Then: I coose 1024X768 (most "common" accepted one, and reasonably good for work).
-Highlight: it HAS option for taking screenshot as JPEG (salute!),
-Highlight: it HAS the option for Fulscreen Video (salute!),
-Highlight: it HAS option to choose from 16 bit, and 32 bits depth (salute!),
-Downfall: when changing these options: mouse "goes wild" MINUS from me,
-Audio ? here it goes:
-Open AL driver from Creative Labs (salute!) (and: can we get more audio-driver options ?)
-Master, Shell, and Sim volumes (cool),
-Controls ?
-Great list is offered here, and each could be re-mapped by double click (salute!),
-Downfall: there is no options for: stop unit (maybe "S"), and scatter units (maybe "X" ?)MINUS from me,
===that's===for===the===options===
Now: let's go for "Start Game"
-Downfall: you have to click very fast, or it won't work (MINUS),
Choosing "Example Mission"...
Too many sims is there intially, and there is no "automatic attack" cursor when mouse-over enemy unit.
(Units are not separated on 2 enemy factions, as well, by default). (MINUS)
(I guess-this could be edited later...),
Camera is good, but feels "unhealthy" somewhat (too quick zoom in, and outs, when going down: simply
falls too fast...
Downfall: there is NO right-click-scroll inbuilt (MINUS at huge - I was hoping for this when buying it...).
(please e-mail me how to activate it IF exists, thx...)

Hmm... here's my so-far experience, guys (I've just got Indie license, and RTS starter kit):Our "phantom" installed shortcut said:
