This post looks a little old but I am on the same issue myself. The Visual Studios Kit patch worked to reduce the amount of failures to 2. Here is the link :> http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Torque/vs2k5

I recently had a problem compiling TGE also but what worked for me and another person in the forums was a fresh install of the Visual C++ Express 2008 compiler thats free from Microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ is the direct download page. The Tan / Orange box is the one you want.
Note: Only the full installation worked, meaning all options on and nothing unselected. It was an 87Mb download but takes 1.1G of the hard drive.

After full installation I received 3 errors that mentioned cmd.exe. But the TorqueDemo did infact compile completely and ran without errors.
I think what we all need a new and complete step-by-step with pictures and links for each new update to TGE
I still haven't gotten TGEA to compile yet, and i seek through the forums looking for posts from those that got it working.
