TGEA 1.7.0 Release About button doesn't work

If you go to the main menu of the stronghold example and click the button "About...", it does nothing.

Here is the console log:
*** Load Main Menu
pushDialog(): Invalid control: HelpDlg
common/gui/help.cs (45): Unable to find object: 'HelpFileList' attempting to call function 'findTextIndex'
common/gui/help.cs (46): Unable to find object: 'HelpFileList' attempting to call function 'setSelectedRow'
pushDialog(): Invalid control: HelpDlg
common/gui/help.cs (45): Unable to find object: 'HelpFileList' attempting to call function 'findTextIndex'
common/gui/help.cs (46): Unable to find object: 'HelpFileList' attempting to call function 'setSelectedRow'
Exporting Gui preferences.

Using winmerge, I looked at help.cs from stronghold tgea, and starter.fps from tge 1.5.2 and they were identicle with the ecception of the heading. In tge it said: Torque Engine, and in tgea is says: "Torque Game Builder". This wouldn't affect it one way or the other tho. I can find no other differences.

Hello, you need to add the file HelpDlg.gui which is in the previous version of the engine to the folder common/gui. Then, you have to execute in the function initializeCommon() from the file common.cs the command exec("~/gui/HelpDlg.gui");

That worked for me.
