Cannot use Quark to open the sample file in Demo

#1 Is the info I provided not enough?

If somebody else had sucessfully opened the file torque_demo.qrk and the maps beneath it, could you show me how you did it?

Thanks a lot ^^

#2 Hi PJ...
it's important first to install the mini phyton pack before to install QuArk.
I don't knew what other the problem could be, because I had installed
QuArk on many systems without any problems.
Try to deinstall all all and install QuArk with the files again from our website.
Click Here
Use the QuArk link and step to the last site. Here you can get the install files
you need for QuArk.

#3 Quark6.3 needs minipy15b.exe to be installed first.

#4 Thanks for all your response!
I'm sure I've installed the minipy15b.exe CORRECTLY...all the python*.dll in the system32 folder has been cleaned manually.
(I uninstalled them first, but some component weren't completely purged from the system, so I did a search and delete them by hand)
(I failed to use the minipy so I grab the latest version to try but they still don't work)

Here is a link to my problem's snapshot... maybe it could give you some hints.
Every maps(I've tried both RTCW maps and torque demo maps) after opened would give me a long py script error shown below:

Because rarely see this problem complained on the forum, so I guess it's my personal issue... these days I'm trying out
finding something else to substitute quark, and seems that though Cartography Shop is capable of, but it still lack some tweaking mechanism.

I'm so jealous that you all can use quark so smoothly....but seems that I am out of fortune to partner with her.

Thanks for you aid again. I'm still not giving up, so tell me any info you feel that might be able to solve the problem.

#5 Quark 6.4 is the recommend version these days.
