Installation of Torque GameBuilder is damaged, please re-install

This is the message Torque gives me every time I start my little demo project via Torsion (and all the tutorial demos as well). I've reinstalled the game builder several times, I'm sure my base directory is correct, but it keeps blowing up on me. I'm using version 1.1.392 Final of Torsion and 1.7.4 of TGB.
Anyone else run into this?

But, I got something working. I was pointing my executable at the Torque GameBuilder exe that loads the editor. Instead, I built my project, received another EXE and pointed Torsion at that. Now it works. Or seems to work (I can set breakpoints and the game freezes appropriately). Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Yep, did a full uninstall and reinstall of TGB. System's fairly clean, and absolutely nothing runs in the background.But, I got something working.

With TGB you can just type in TGBGame.exe in the Executable field in the Config Settings dialog... you do not need to put in the full path. The TGB installer places special registry entries on Windows which allows it to find the right TGBGame executable automatically.
That said... it possible for that registry entry to get screwed up... multiple version installs and/or SVN checked out versions of TGB.
I never depend on the registry... honestly i think it was a bad feature in TGB.
I always create test projects with the "Copy Game Executable to Game Path" or when using SVN point it directly at tgb\gameData\T2DProject\TGBGame.exe.

There are two basic methods to setting the right EXE for TGB projects.With TGB you can just type in TGBGame.exe in the Executable field in the Config Settings dialog... you do not need to put in the full path.

Ah, the TGBGame.exe method works great. I even deleted the project folder I built and it executed just fine. Many thanks.
