RTS/FPS starter problems

I have both the RTS and FPS starter packets... The FPS seems to be working fine... However the RTS doesnt want to load the mission beyond the lobby menu. What am I doing wrong?

This is what I have done since downloading.. I origionally downloaded both which left two dif icons on my desk top one for each... I played with the FPS starter kit for a few days and took a look at the RTS starter kit but didnt mess with anything.. I edited some things wrong following some tutorials for the FPS and It did not want to work since some of the tutorials were outdated and never stated which version they were for... So I decided to start over from scratch.. Completely removed both RTS and FPS and the whole engine. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled.. This time the RTS did not leave a desktop icon however it installed the needed files.. In the source directory there was no executable either as well to the game engine..
So I copied the RTS folder and moved it over to the FPS main folder to simplify things. Changed my default main.cc to load the RTS example and it loads to the main screen, but when I click start mission nothing starts...

1) what did I do worng?
2) are both the RTS and FPS both compatable with the same engine or are they seperate compiles 2 dif version?
3) If they are seperate how do I redownload and get the engine to install correctly and provide a link on the desktop.

2) Yes both were seperate engine compiles. The RTS kit had several engine modifications.

3) Redownload them from the "My Account" page that you see as a link up above in the top menu bar.

Hope that helps!
