No documentation when installing under 1.7.3

I can't understand what is happening with the installation of PlatformerKit (i just bought it) .letme explain:
1. i have cleanly installed TGB 1.7.3pro
2. i have installed "PlatformerStarterKit"
3. i try to see platformer documentation in the start menu and now problemes starts...
1. on start menu (Windows Vista) i go to programs and see 2 folders, "Roque Game Builder" (with its documentation and shortcuts), "Platform Starter Kit", click on it and no other subfolder or shortcut is there! :(
2. i went to Torque Game Builder installation path and i found the following structure:
C:\Archivos de Programa\GarageGames\
- TorqueGameBuilder-1.7
- TorqueGameBuilder-1.7.3
now i see inside this folders and see that the platformer is under "TorqueGameBuilder-1.7" but my installation path is "TorqueGameBuilder-1.7.3"
again, lets dive into the platformer installation path and found the following structure:
C:\Program Files\GarageGames\TorqueGameBuilder-1.7
- games\PlatformerDemo???????
- PlataformerKit\ (no folders here just 3 files)
PSKFramework.doc
readme.txt
unistall.exe
-tgb\gamedate
\resources
now, the questions:
1. where to find the documentation for the plataformer?, i was looking into the folders and there is no documentation for the plataformer.
2. why the platformer created new TGB installation path for older version 1.7?
3. Is this problem caused by Windows Vista?
4. why is there a PlatformerKtiDemo folder? (i installed the full product i just bought)

The documentation is found on TDN here. There isn't a documentation setup like TGB has, it is just an explanation of how the PSK works in general and a tutorial on how to create a level. Most of the information you will need is inside the script files, as they are heavily commented. If there is anything else you need to know after reading through the Framework document, just post your questions here.
The Demo folder contains a demo level, so you can reference from it easily enough when you develop your own game.
